Hello Guys ,

Anyone know of any local sources for pickling lime ?

I dont know of any local place...But up where my Mom and Dad live Publix sells it all year long last year I went up and bought 20-30 bags..Chris Little took 10-15 bags and I kept the rest. Im getting ready to start dripping limewater again So I will make some calls this week

BTW Canning season should be coming up I think the publix out in weston sells it....??

Any local publix (and probably most stores) can order it for you if you ask at the service counter.
