Hi there Sharon,

I understand your frustration when a brand changes something we have been using for a long time. My mom only used Crisco & swore by it. But that was long before they made the change. I typically just get the store brand for wherever I’m shopping. I think I’m currently using the Walmart – Great Value. I haven’t seen a huge difference in how it performs compared to before. I’m wondering if maybe there is another brand that uses a different type of oil that you could use or if all national brands have made that switch. Maybe an organic variety would give a better result. Target seems to carry a wider variety of organic shortening brands.

Let me know if you find a good alternative that you like,

Gina
