There is a reason I don't do recipes and things on my blog. The reason is, I suck at cooking. But tonight there was a trifecta of cooking disasters..........why, on a Monday evening after work, I think it is a good idea to experiment, I don't know. But I did. I made caramel sauce for apples. I don't really like to dip my apples in caramel sauce but there was something to good, so rich and so autumny about it.......... It turned a lovely shade of amber - which is what the recipe said it was to do. It boiled, I stirred, I added whipping cream, it frothed. I set it on the hoosier cabinet to cool. And I couldn't wait to taste it.
Bleh. It tastes like brown sticky charcoal. It tastes like that burnt crap you get on the outdoor grill. It is d.i.s.g.u.s.t.i.n.g.
So trooper that I am, I thought I would go ahead and make a batch of grape jelly. Out of the grape juice I made last night from the Concord grapes I bought at the wine festival. What a beautiful shade of deep, deep purple. I'm not not sure how it will taste but it looks good. But I used a new brand of canning jars and haven't heard one single ping of the jars sealing. So I'll check later tonight. All of the jars may just be going into the fridge. And my cooking/canning/baking will be done.
