As with many of her cooking projects, we often do a trial run at home so that she knows what is involved (and so that we get to try new things too!) so some of these photos are from home, and the rest from the school kitchen.

Yay for your daughter. Though I can't say I actually like marmalade, I am very impressed she is making it and topping her class.
ReplyDeletegood for her xx bet it tasyes as good as the marks xxx
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm a little bit jealous that your daughter gets to make marmalade in high school. That looks delicious and fun! Congratulations to your beautiful girl on leading the class!
ReplyDeleteWow - that's really cool. And congrats to her for the top marks. :D
ReplyDeleteSuper! Well done!
ReplyDeleteoh this is very fun! Great that she did so well. Isn't she sweet!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that's fantastic! And I agree, obscene is the right word for the amount of sugar that goes into these kinds of things. :)
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is very beautiful, by the way!
I am thrilled to see a Food Tech teacher give an assignment on preserves. Such a lost art. Now did you design the cute label too?
ReplyDeleteYay for her! My mum makes tons of orange marmalade in this giant copper pan, but I have to admit I'm more of a lime marmalade fan
ReplyDeleteWay to go G!! Congrats on topping the assignment.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and talented daughter you have! I love marmalade and have in fact just eaten some on toast but not homemade sadly.
