I am trying to follow the recipe on the sticky thread and got everything, but can't find the Alum. I tried the canning area of the grocery store, but no luck.

Anyone?

I think it's in the spice section of the grocery store.

I could never find it either. Looked everywhere, spice aisle, canning etc, different stores, different towns, different tomes of year.

Also heard that it can be found in Walgreens. Either the pharmacy or spice section.

Found it! It was at another grocery store, with the spices (alphabetically, thank goodness).
Thanks BBs!

I sure hope this is only an abscess. The vet came out and said right away that's what she thought. This horse was 3-legged lame - 100% non weight-bearing.

Have y'all ever seen one THAT lame? I was sure it was something much more serious...

In the sugar and spice aisle at the grocery store. Spice are sorted alphabeticly so look for A for Alum.
