bitter disappointment

5 Sep

I made lime-zucchini and also orange-zucchini marmalade.  I’m trying to stick with the positive side of this, but let’s be realistic.  While I conquered my fear of canning, I was left with something that I thought tasted pretty bad.  The spouse thinks the lime is great and has been using it on crackers.  My dad thought the orange was good so I sent some home with him.  I have accepted once and for all that my mouth doesn’t do well with the bitter side of citrus.  This is something that I first realised when eating grapefruit.  While everyone else says it’s delicious, I taste acid.  Not yummy citrus acid - it’s bitter, bad acid.  It’s official, I will not be making marmalade anymore.   The good thing is that my canning was successful, so a new window has opened to make lots of sweet delicious fruit jams.
