So on Saturday, my mom helped me make and can orange marmalade! I've been wanting to learn how to can for awhile, but find it extremely intimidating (can we say "botulism"?), so it was great to learn from her firsthand. Jason helped a little bit, too, and everyone who has tasted the marmalade says it tastes really good. I was disappointed that it was more runny than the kind you buy from the store, but everyone else thought I was being too picky.We're planning on buying some strawberries to make preserves with, and my mom said that if they get a lot of tomatoes from their garden, she'll let me can those, too. I was ridiculously proud of myself when I was done! :)
By the way, any of my aunts or cousins who are reading this, forget about it, because it's going to be one of my items at the Girl Party on Saturday. :)
