Flat Bread & Mint Jello
Being hard-headed and cooking doesn't always work well together. I decided to give up bread for a bit and make myself a batch of mint jelly, because I love mint jelly and eat it with all sorts of things that would make you gag (like fish, because I never liked fish as a kid and it was the only way I could get it down my gullet.)
So I went to my garden and gathered up all the mint I could find and boiled it down. It didn't seem "minty" enough, so I went to the store to buy extra mint flavoring and some green food coloring --- and bought everything in the store except those two things. Unwilling to go back, I forged ahead and pulled the pectin from my closet...only to find I'd bought gelatin on accident. I plowed ahead again, and cut out half the sugar thinking it would make it less calorific.
*sigh*
So, you guessed it. Now I have a Tupperware full of gray-brown vaguely minty sugar water Jello. It looks a lot like it may eat me before I eat it, but I'm too stubborn to throw it out. So far....
If you'd like the recipe just let me know!
