A great resource for canning spices
Spices, and other canning needs can be expensive if purchased at your local grocery in those expensive little cans, that is, if you can find them at all during the height of canning season. Check out www.bulkfoods.com. Here I’ve found all of the necessary spices, along with pickling lime, ascorbic acid, citric acid, and even calcium chloride (replaces alum) for those concerned about Alzheimers. As you will see by the name, they sell in bulk, so get together with some canning friends and split the cost, this way everyone saves. They have no minimum purchase amount, but if your order is over $75.00 shipping is free.
