I was thinking about trying to do something nice for the military during the holidays and it made me remember when I was a young girl of about 5 or 6 I think. My mother and I were living with my grandparents at that time so I was...

I pushed Luna to the front of the garden (she is not used to it so she did not want to go) and we gathered all the apricots we could with Leticia. We moved the branches so the ripe apricots that were on top would fall so I have...

Do you like soft kids jellies?

amnabas @amnabas (14877) • Karachi, Pakistan 15 Jun 17

My both daughters are fond of those soft colorful jellies. Most of them have sweet and sour taste too. I think they are made of some gelatin. I like the sour ones too. What about you and your kids?

I´m trying to make plum jelly.

marguicha @marguicha (230349) • Chile 15 Dec 16

I am intending to make some plum jelly. I don´t know if it will work, but if it doesn´t work with just sugar, I´ll add some gelatine. I once made some, but it has been several years ago. Leticia asks me why we are doing all this...

Batch 1 of the plums given to me are done. They perked up in taste and were more

writersedge @writersedge (22563) • United States 25 Aug 08

like plums after I put the sugar in. The recipe on sure-jell called for 8 cups of sugar for every 6 cups of plums. Before it cooked down, it wasn't bad, but after it cooked down, was it ever sweet! Wow! The color is candy apple...

Do you like eating cake with icecream?

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 18 Mar 08

I really really love to eat cake (particularly chocolate mudcake) with icecream. I just really love the texture of the cake when it's eaten with the icecream. I think the cold icecream makes the cake slightly firm. I can eat two...

Rotten apples, anyone?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 22 Jun 07

If you bit into an apple and found that it was rotten, would you chew it up anyway or spit it out right away? What if you were having lunch with friends? Would you still spit out the bad food where they could see? Or, would you...

rosehunter51 @rosehunter51 (17) • United States 10 Jun 07

Any canners out there? How about home jams and jelly makers? Any body care to share recipes regarding either one of those items. I love to do both and would like to share recipes or experiences.
