Last weekend I attempted to make some rhubarb marmalade. In this attempt, I believe my heart was in it, but not my brain.
First, let me say I thought I was making due with what I had. Lemons were sold out in 3 stores, so I used limes. This was mistake #1 and the primary reason why the marmalade attempt tastes like lime pith.
Second, once again I had setting issues. Had I not mucked it up with the limes, I'm sure it would have made awesome ice cream topping and shake mix.
Thirdly, I think I need to actually follow a recipe and stop winging it. A real one, like the one Kelly posted, or something posted online. No more "um, this should work."
If I can afford to try again this weekend, I shall.
