what ya doing to stay busy? (Sharon)

[Guest guest]

Just wondering what everyone is doing this weekend, last week, or???Last week I made and canned some red jalapenos from our garden as well as some preserves. Today we ate a huge Moon and Stars watermelon from our garden. Now I'm making watermelon preserves from the rinds. I have already peeled it and then sliced the rind. Now it has to set overnight with the sugar on it then I will cook it tomorrow. Then I will can it. Busy work is a good thing:)hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Interesting. I've never heard of using the rinds for preserves. Talk about being resourceful.

The outside (green) part is peel off and the white part is used. This was passed down to me by my mother and her mother before her. It's SO good!hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

There isn't a true recipe. I learned by watching my mom. Here's what I do:peel the green part off trim the red part off (for the most part)slice into thin slicesput it into a pan that has a cover and will fit into the fridgecover the sliced peels with white sugar thicklycover and put in the fridge overnight. put it on the stove (with cover on pan) and bring to a boil, then turn the fire down low. Cook for about an hour, stirring now and then. The peels will get translucent and the syrup will thicken. When it's thick and cooked all the way through it's ready. If you aren't going to can it put it in a tight fitting jar and stick it in the fridge. When it's cold if it is sugared then cook it a bit more with a little water

added. At that point you will just be heating it through to take away the sugaring. If you try it let, me know. It is so good! I like to can it and then I give jars to family for Christmas. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

I know this is late Sharon, but wow, you were productive......

I had to call in sick this past weekend for work, it's getting depressing

Right now, the pain is at its worst and it is like I have electricity firing through my extremeties. Not sleeping well, but sleeping often, if that makes any sense....

I can't get back into my doctor until next Monday....
