What you're talking about is also called "Slacked Lime" or Calcium Hydroxide.
And, if you want a cheap source of this without having to make it yourself, just wait for the canning supplies to go on clearance (end of summer / early fall) at your local "big blue" box store. They always carry the 1lbs containers of "Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime" for $2.99 ea. but on clearance they're almost always marked down to $1.00 USD. For $10.00 USD you'll have more pure, food-grade hydrated lime than you can use in a year...
Pickling Lime Pickling Lime is Calcium Hydroxide. It's also called "food-grade Lime", because in making the Calcium Hydroxide the processors make sure that the process remains pure and doesn't introduce anything untoward (e.g. it's not done in rusty old bins).
Calcium Hydroxide To make Calcium Hydroxide (aka Edible Lime, Hydrated Lime, CaH2O2), Quicklime is treated with water. It heats up, evaporates the water, and leaves behind a white powder. This converts Quicklime from Calcium Oxide to Calcium Hydroxide. When Calcium Hydroxide is mixed in water, it creates a very alkaline solution. This is also called Slaked Lime, as the Lime has been treated with as much water as it will take up, "slaking" (satisfying) its thirst.

Don't mistake my tone for a "matter-of-fact" attitude.
