Q: I am looking for apricot Jell-O. So far, I have been unsuccessful. Alicia Fish, email
A: Alicia, Kraft still offers its apricot-flavored gelatin mix but you wouldn’t know it because it’s one of the more elusive flavors. However, if you go to your nearest Publix store, you can have the manager special order the item for you. To make it easier for you when you order, the item code for boxes of apricot flavored Jell-O is 7726.
Q: We have a Bose radio/cd player that I accidentally spilled water on. It stopped working. We have looked online and locally to find someone to repair it to no avail. Can you help? Thanks. Patti Davis, Duluth
A: Patti, I have a good starting point for you but, of course, no one will know if the radio can be repaired until someone can have a look inside. You can take your radio to Norman’s Electronics, 3653 Clairmont Road, Atlanta, 770-451-6673. The repair shop has been in business since 1955 and handles a variety of electronics from DVD players to flat-panel televisions.
Q: A few years ago, Smucker's starting selling natural marmalade, raspberry and strawberry jams. These are made without high-fructose corn syrup and actually tasted better than the regular marmalade. I have not been able to find the marmalade where I shop. Did Smucker's discontinue this? Thanks. R. L. Lee, Alpharetta
A: No worries, your citrus spread is still around. Loaded with strips of sweet and tart orange rinds, Smucker’s Natural orange marmalade fruit spread is made without any genetically modified ingredients. You’ll find Smucker’s Natural orange marmalade for $2.36 at Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, 11770 Haynes Bridge Road, Alpharetta.
Q: Please tell me where I can find bottles of strawberry tonic made by Indi. It's a very unusual drink that's hard to find. Thank you. S. Paul, email
A: Crafted with natural essences of strawberry, lime and cinchona bark, this quinine-based soft drink with the pale pink tint works ideally as both an aperitif or a cocktail mixer. Indi and Co. strawberry tonic is available in four-packs for $9.99 at Total Wine and More, 3954 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, 404-816-7249.
