The Topsfield Fair ended yesterday and today I went and picked up my jars, the ribbons, and the cash prize ($16!). I timed my trip up there so I could catch up with Roxanne, whom I missed on the day we were both there checking out who won what. She brought me some ground up ghost peppers from her cousin. I gave her a jar of mint jelly. It was good to see her again!
The one thing that always makes me sad is that one jar of each flavor is wasted in the process of judging. They open one, taste it a few times, and then don't refrigerate it. Of course, it's gone bad by the time we get it back. I do wish they could refrigerate all the open containers but it's probably just not feasible.
