I've made my first marmalades! (Photos soon)
I'm participating in a 12 month can-a-long of sorts. There are 120 or so bloggers with OCD (obsessive canning disorder) who will be canning a different item each month in 2010. The January focus is citrus.
So far today, I've made two standard marmalades from the Ball Blue Book: grapefruit and orange. Marmalade is surprisingly sticky. After I clean the sticky droppings from all over the kitchen, I'll be making some Cranberry-orange jam.
I bought some key limes at the grocery store as well (you didn't think I'd get locally sourced citrus in Indiana, did you?), but can't find any recipes for canning them, so we'll be making some pie.

Welcome, fellow Hoosier, to the canjam! Where are you? I, alas, am an expatriot living in Philadelphia, but my sister and sometimes co-blogger lives in Princeton (SW IN). Given your interest in local food, be sure to stop by her restaurant, The Farmer's Daughter, if you're in the neighborhood.
