So, I made a thread a while back about Rochester, NY. Now I'm making one about Madison - I'm visiting there soon. Anybody from the area? It's a cool place to live, yes? What should I do there if I have some free time on the weekend?
I'll be moving in the Fall. Madison is likely if I don't go to Rochester. Bloomington, IN is also still a possibility. One of those 3, most likely. |

I thought you meant Madison Women's Institute. I was hoping for a quince jam recipe.

Wisconsin - you know, the "Badger State."
As in, "Badger? But she's only been in the police academy for half an hour." ****rimshot**** or, uh ****sting***** |

Is it the Badger State? That's a nice thing to be known as.
I don't suppose you have a decent recipe for quince jam anyway, do you?

The only quince recipe I have is for something called "Sour Quince Log," but trust me, you don't want it.

There's a fair few quince jam recipes online if you Google, Hip, but you've left it a bit late for making a batch for your beloved's Valentines day present.
Sorry, Noumenal. |

Breaking news:
1 kg (2 1b)barely ripe quince 1.5 litres (6 cups) water sugar Wash and scrub quince and place in a large saucepan with water and 3/4 cup sugar. Bring to the boil and keep boiling gently for 2 hours, until quince are light pink. Lift out quince and chop flesh, discarding the core. Return flesh to the saucepan and measure contents of pan adding one cup of sugar to every cup of pulp. Slowly return to the boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil for 30 minutes or until jam sets when tested. Pour into sterilised jars and seal when cool. I reckon you'd do well to add some honey to the mix.

Dude, if you boil anything for 2.5 hours and add a bunch of sugar, it'll taste pretty good.

That's probably very true.
You want me to send you a batch of cheese jam? It should be ready to post in a few hours. HEY SONICL - You want some home-made cheese jam?

No thanks. I have several jars of fig preserves that my grandmother made in my fridge I still need to finish. No, she didn't make them in my fridge, she made them in her house. And no, I don't need to finish my fridge, I need to finish the preserves. No, not finish making them, my grandmother did that. I mean finish eating them. The preserves, that is.

You got any cheese in your fridge? Or just figs and elderly women?

Very nice.
If you google 'quince jam recipe', the excerpt under one of the links says this: Why not get yourself a bucketful (about 10 pounds), gather together some honey, jars and paraffin . . .. Paraffin. The link doesn't work.

I've been to Madison, on a work outing. It seemed like it could be fun, but I didn't really have any fun there.
