The 19th Annual Schaller Ribbon Report

[Melba's Jammin']

The 19th Annual Schaller Ribbon Report: It was the best of times, it was
the worst of times. Wait, that was Charles Dickens, I believe.

Of 20 entries, I placed in 8 lots‹my worst showing since 2009, but not
my worst ever. <Whew!>

The particulars: 3 BLUE (Stewed tomatoes, tomato
juice, nectarine jam); 2 RED ribbons (watermelon pickles, raspberry
jelly), 1 WHITE ribbon (peach jam), and 2 PINK ribbons
(nectarine-apricot butter, blackberry jelly). AND a Ball Award for
excellence in canning, I guess. It was for my stewed tomatoes.

"Our state fair is a great state fair, don't
miss it, don't even be late."

Back when he was doing stock market reports?

Found them listed in the Taste section of the Strib today.

Good job!
