All that state fair enterings just made me tired, but I wish Mother Sup
and all y'all the best of luck. It's too much work not to get prizes and
stuff.
I made pomegranate jelly from fresh red ones. They come in pink and white,
iirc, but the red is sooo pretty, what do any else? But I was disappointed
with the aroma/flavor. So much of taste is aroma and this didn't have it.
Might have been my neighbor's fruits. Boy it was a pretty color. Maybe a mix
of strawberry & pom jelly? or plum? My plum jam was from really uninspiring
plums, but the jam was FAB! really sparkled.
