Lessons from today

Lesson #1: Jelly DOES need fruit pectin.

The recipe called for it, but did we need it? Apparently so. Apple did not work. Maybe we need more? The jelly tastes good, but not like jelly. I think we should put it in the freezer for homemade fruit chillers!

Lesson #2: Pasta sauce does NOT double as pizza sauce, even if it has pizza seasonings in it.

Colleen even tried to thicken it. It did not work. It tasted like Italian sop on bread. UGH. The consistency did not match the really bready, not crispy, crust. Maybe measuring the yeast correctly too...

Lesson #3: Mozzarella cheese is not the correct cheese for pizza.

Next time, we will use pizza cheese. I think that is a combination of cheeses to give us the perfect blend of flavors.
