I got a bunch of meyer lemons, cara cara navel oranges and calamondins over Christmas holidays. My trees outdid themselves.
I made various marmalades with them for gifts. Basic Meyer Lemon marmalade, ginger lemon marmalade, blueberry lemon preserves, and vanilla bourbon cara cara orange marmalade. I’ve got to slice up the calamondins this evening to cook up Monday. I’ll probably cook some with vanilla and bourbon and some with pineapple and maybe some plain too.
Going to start my broccoli and cauliflowers and cabbages this evening when I’m done with supper. Also some vidalia type onions to set out. Still trying to get my shallots and garlic planted. Either death in the family or crazy work or sick family. bah.
All those gifts sound marvelous. I’m sure that everyone was happy to receive them.
I’m just going to sip tea and wrap up in a blanket today.
