Clipped quince adventure.

Thanks friends for all the sympathy, I needed that. The durn candy is still
sticky. Throw into oven for awhile or throw out? Ants need food too you
know. I did try the alcohol pectin test Wayne, and it's always been the
same - no matter commercial apple juice, pectinious quinces or my grandma,
all I got was cloudy alcohol. I think maybe I'll sacrifice a pretty glass
jar to St. Pectina by donating to Salvation Army. Couldn't break it, that's
a cardinal canner's rule. Maybe put candle in it & dance naked at the full
of the next moon?
Took the quince butter to the market this morning, lots of nice comments,
selling quinces for the Mystic River farm, got nice roasted peppers for
gratuity today, put in freezer on cookie sheet for bagging later.
