Note: H5N1 groovy beginning for canning data is the Blue Book lead to preserving. I highly recommend it for learning how to can. Here is a bunch of other canning books in addition to equipment I detect useful.

My thoughts:
I late was lucky plenty to come upwardly inwards possession of a bunch of genuinely fragrant Texas grapefruit. I had high hopes of in conclusion tackling marmalade making but when I cutting into them, nearly half, land delicious, had very, really thick peel (lots of pith) in addition to I wasn't eager to pass all that fourth dimension prepping the fruit in addition to making marmalade exclusively to yield a duet of 1/2 pints. We were getting hit to become on opor-garai then I knew I didn't convey fourth dimension simply to swallow them 1 past times 1 in addition to I am non a terribly large grapefruit eater anyway. I looked upwardly tons of grapefruit recipes in addition to none actually seemed appealing until I came across a recipe for a poached grapefruit made amongst lots of fresh mint. It sounded tasty but again, my brusk deadline in addition to total of grapefruit I had didn't brand this a practical solution. So I took the sentiment of poaching the grapefruit 1 farther in addition to canned the segments inwards a really lite syrup. In the hereafter I volition role it simply equally I would poached grapefruit: over H2O ice cream, yogurt or panna cotta or fifty-fifty inwards drinks. The vanilla edible bean in addition to star anise add together involvement (and spice of course) to the syrup in addition to occur the grapefruit from beingness puckeringly overpowering.
