Today I taught my daughter and my son (at different times; they don't get along well) to make jelly. They are entering jellies among other items in the county fair. Daughter made black currant jelly from my bc juice and son is in the process right now of making strawberry jelly from my strawberry juice. A nice time was had by all. Daughter didn't read directions well, depending on my memory, and we now have bc syrup. Her second batch doesn't look much better right now. I'm hoping it thickens overnight.
She also learned to make a pickling brine for refrigerator dills and filled three quart jars. They'll be ready for testing in a couple of weeks.
The house smells divine and my heart is full.
