I bet you can track it down at your local grocery (assuming they have a good spice selection). Mon Oct 26 10:51:52 -0700 2009 5131534 74066 gilintx 2 5132219 Fiesta Mart at I-35 and 38th?

I believe I have even seen it at True Value Hardware, with the canning supplies, but any shop that has a decent canning section should carry it. I agree that you might find it at Fiesta. IIRC, I have also seen it at Callahan's General Store on 183, but that's been a while. Mon Oct 26 17:23:37 -0700 2009 5131534 117760 angusb 2 5135516 Thanks angusb and chispa and glintx. Will definitely look at the places you suggested.

They do have pickling lime in stock. Sat Nov 07 22:08:44 -0800 2009 5135516 117760 angusb
