I am going to see if I can make this work for 2019, we will see.. its never easy at all to do something like this, forget even a few times and it slips though the cracks.

So I need to do some side notes on these..

Things I am including in the cost per jar.

• Cost of the food in the jar itself
• Cost if any of what is the liquid in the jar
• Cost if any of the spices in the jar
• Cost of the new lid per jar
• Cost of the energy per water bath load or per pressure canner load

Things I am not including in the cost per jar

• My time
• cost of the jar, its a sunk cost.. some of the jars were gotten for free, some at 10 or 25 cents at farm sales, most gotten by the case on year end sales.. I currently have around 1650 jars give or take a few.

Regardless it was done in half pints, pints quarts or half gallons.. all Jars listed are rounded up and or down into pints.
