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.
