The jellies have been carefully submitted, and I have to tell you, I'm nervous.
I saw one other entry on the Lot 10 (Pepper Jelly) shelf, and it was...green. Green? That almost definitely means food coloring (and this stuff was preternaturally green). Ick. There were only 3 hours left to submit, and so if we're the only two, that means a ribbon automatically.
I don't want to win that way. I want a ticker tape parade. I want my name in the papers and a Lifetime TV Movie contract.
Oh well, it's just peppers, pectin, vinegar and sugar.
And tears, capsaicin burned fingers, sterilized jars, and a years' worth of angst.
