when life gives you lemons.3.1.2010
...and especially meyer lemons freshly harvested...make marmalade. these preserves are so good. i saved a teaspoon full to eat with some plain yogurt. mmm....a creative act started yesterday and ended today (24 hour soaking time & then heating & canning). i love canning. it's a good art form that's seeing a revival in recent years. i canned these & fondly remembered winning a few ribbons at the state fair. my hands often connect me to memories. smells, too, but using my hands to create helps me to connect my present to past experiences all at once. i wish i could can lemons for each of you and give them to you, like a little bit of sunshine wrapped up to warm you!
