Last year, there were a few people who were looking for Gem jar lids, because the company who now produces all of the canning stuff decided, in their wisdom? to cease production. Marie just bought two boxes yesterday, as they are now available from a Canadian independent manufacturer. email me off list for their name. On topic,I have already had a couple of Hot Portugals from my two plants! mmmmm good, and hot! Cheers,Doug in BC
