    Do any of you sell some of your preps to offset costs? My wife started selling jelly last year from what we had harvested. I believe she was charging $8 a pint or $10 for the 1.5 pint. She sold so much, we almost had to buy jelly for the boys.
    It paid for all the sugar, jars, a nice stainless juicer (my mother loves the juicer), several stainless pots, food processor, and plum and cherry pitters.
    We are cleaning out the freezers now for beef, so we are processing all the juice into jelly. I didn't realize we still had about 25 gallons of juice in the freezer.

    That's amazing! I haven't considered doing it because of Colorado's stupid"cottage industry" law that requires the address of the kitchen used to produce the product to be listed on the label. I have been making a ton of jelly and jams, though.
