    Default Bottling Sugar

    I just bottled a bunch of sugar by scooping up a paper cup's worth, squishing the cup to a point, and pouring it through a small funnel into a jar (we sell in 4 oz. and 8 oz. shaker jars). It's a pain to say the least. Does anyone make a dispenser where you could pour maybe 5-10 pounds of sugar into it and have some sort of lever, spigot, etc. to open up the device to allow sugar to flow into the container. I'm envisioning a giant funnel of sorts.

    I cut the top off a 20 oz. Pepsi bottle and used that as a funnel. I think we even used a canning funnel to funnel into that funnel. lol

    Then I discovered vacuum packing it using FoodSaver bags.
