Hey TonyL, how much does your small jars hold and where did you get them. Randy
1.7oz Randy. These are Cracker Barrel "syrup" bottles, but we have the same size on order from Fillmore container, due in tomorrow. Going to use them for the black walnut syrup, since the supply is low and the interest very high.
Speaking of which, how are you progressing on the walnut syrup?
Tony, those bottles are beautifully done. The wax is a really up-scale touch.

It's quite good, very sweet with a taste that's different from maple.....just what we were hoping for.
Tony, like the look of your black walnut syrup, well done. I am going to gather walnut sap today, for or 2nd collection, and plan on boiling it tomorrow. I'll let you know what happens.
