We have gone through a gallon can of grape jelly in a week. NOW we find out they don't make it in gallon cans anymore. We also have a custom made Oriole feeder from Gardens by Nancy. She is a local resident that knows her stuff and is well known in the area. The high temps (99) Tuesday broke the jelly bowl. So we will be hunting for a replacement bowl.
