Last week I mentioned that I was entering a few items in the canning competition for the NJ State Fair. Because the MY Stitch and Bitchers are my people, they too were very excited about the prospects. I brought some libations (red and white), cheeses (smoked and sharp) and my four entries for tasting and feedback (recognizing that the deadline to drop off items in 7/26 so there was not a lot of time to make any changes).
The offerings:
Top, left to right: marinara fra diavolo and pickled beetsBottom row: left to right: mango chutney, blueberry orange jam, and oranges in cointreau
The verdicts:
Happy faces! That's a good sign!
The NJ State Fair runs August 1st - 10th. Wish me luck. ~ksp
