Megan's 2008-2009 School Year

Jelly.

       Yesterday, I made Grape Jelly. I started out by mixing some grape juice and sugar. Next, I turned the burner on the stove to medium. Then, I stirred it about every 1 to 2 minutes. ( which it took forever to boil!!!) When it finally started to boil, I could not even take my spoon out of the water, Because it was trying to bubble over!!!! ( it was alive!!! ahhhh!! jk lol) After a few more minutes the bubbles started jumping out and burning my hands. ( It was very painful. ): )  I could not take the jelly off of the stove until the jelly started to sheet.

For those who don't know what sheeting is, Sheeting is when you take a metal spoon and put it in the jelly, then pull it back out and if the jelly all slides of slow and together it is done. But if it just dripps off like water then it is not done.

Then Mom finally said that I could take it of and start pouring the jelly into the jars. Well, it turned out that I had "umm" cooked it a little to long.  It was pretty thick when I was trying to put it in the jars, So by the time I got all the covers on the jars it was already set up.
