Last year wasn't so hot; this year is almost too much legal fun for a
woman my age.
Chris and I had a blast! Can't wait to look at the pictures we took.
Of 20 entries, the maximum number allowed, I placed in 12. Five of
those 12 ribbons were first place winners:
Apricot Butter (to die for)
Pickled Boiled Dirt Chunks (Pickled Beets) !! ROTFLMAOPMPSTC !! The
judges decided it was better than the other 35 entries.
Bread& Butter Pickles
Watermelon Pickles
Sweet& Spicy Pickle Relish (a special Gedney-sponsored contest)
I had two second place ribbons:
Peach Jam
Spiced Tomato Jam (This is a big achievement, AFAIC. Last year, there
were 62 entries in the lot<it won second last year, too. I have nothing
to hang my head about here.)
Three white, third place, ribbons for:
Plum-m-m-m Jelly
Plum-Cherry Jelly
Cherry Chipotle Barbecue Sauce ("Ooooh, Clarence Carter, Clarence
Carter, Clarence Carter. . . " Dang, this stuff is good!)
And two fourth place ribbons for:
Raspberry Jelly
Apricot Jam
Bupkes for Crabapple Jelly, Wild Grape Jelly, Cherry Jelly, Cherry Jam,
Raspberry Jam, Strawberry Jam, Dried Fruit Chutney, and Corn Relish (zip
for the corn relish was not a surprise; it was not my best batch)
The awesome Cherry Cream Scones I made came in third! Yeay!!
Send rejects, the Shirley Family Food Test Center will judge them for you. <G> (Based on the presumption that Barb's rejects are better than some folks ribbon winners.)
