Orange-lemon-fig marmalade
The orange/lemon/fig marmalade I made the other day turned out GREAT. It’s sweet with a delicious tang. I made 9 jars plus a small bowl for immediate use. It has such an unexpected piquant zing that it would also be a good complement to Indian or oriental foods. Usually a batch of jam or jelly will last me a couple of years. This marmalade will probably not last 6 months!
I started tatting again on my doily the other day, but got so bored at the repetition and the seemingly endless outer row that I put it away until the long winter nights get here. Instead I did a simple little Christmas motif that will go on a Christmas card. I plan to concentrate on projects that work up quickly and give me instant gratification for a while! 🙂
