award winning

I entered the local fair with 3 different varieties of my jellies ,blackberry, plum, peach and thought why not take the squash in as well, so I did enter the yellow squash and the zucchini. The jelly won. The blackberry took second place and the plum and peach took first along with the yellow squash. I used two different kinds of plums, red and black to make the jelly and used the typical Ball recipe for making of the jellies.
I canned some zucchini/squash marmalade today 4 half-pints and 2 pints.
