the swap thing is happening again...

So, I made marmalade.



I offered four of the jars to swap; got two responses. One for lemons, one for mandarins.

I got a BAG of mandarins and a BAG of lemons, so...I guess there's a lot of citrus in my future.

Lemon curd, lemon juice, and maybe lemon zest. Hm. Curd would end up using a lot of the eggs that I have. But then, I could get more eggs off a friend who has about six chooks and is still easily getting 4-6 eggs a day. Mandarins...I have to work out if there's any way to preserve them. I'd love that tart mandarin taste for another six weeks until it turns spring-y again...

*sigh*

Ooh, where'd you get the kumquats? (I'm always interested in kumquat marmalade!)

From the tree I planted in the back yard a year ago! I got about half a kilo of fruit, which is more than I expected so soon :D

Blergh, I'm sorry, I didn't get to do everything I wanted to on the weekend and we fly out on Thursday. Anyway, my jar has your name on it if you still have something to swap when I get back next month! :D

There will probably be something to swap still. :)
