Smucker buys Knott's Berry Farm

The J.M. Smucker Co. is spreading further into the jams and jellies category. The Orrville company is acquiring the Knott's Berry Farm food brand from ConAgra Foods Inc.

This is good news for Ohio and Wisconsin and an apparent smart move for the Smucker's people. I look forward to buying Knotts Berry Brand Jams and Jellies.

My favorite Knotts berry jam or was it a jelly is the elder berry jelly. I remember about a hundred years ago when we use to live in the Hillwood Homes Projects my family would go down by the rail road tracks way in the back of the homes and pick elder berries from the bushes that lined the track. My Mom would make home made jelly and oh boy was it good. The only other place I could get elder berry jelly was from Knotts Berry Farm. Gee, I hope they still make it.

When we moved to Firestone Park the trips to that particular spot by the rail road trackes was over. So when I get that jelly from Knotts Berry in bring back fond memories. I haven't been able to even locate elder berry jelly lately. Sah > HUH.

They will find new jobs nearby.

If America starts making ethanol out of sugar, then won't the price of sugar go much higher and make all of these jellies and jams much more expensive?

Might be smart to think about hoarding some jars of your favorites.

Food for people and oil for engines period. The corn and all the other grown foods that they want to put into engines is a fiasco.
