When you get into pressure canning low acid vegetables it becomes a bit more difficult (but not really). The only real risk with jams and jellies is if they develop mould. Growing up, we'd just scrape that off, and eat the jam but now the thinking is it contains a toxin that is a potential carcinogen. So if it grows fuzz, toss the jam. When you go to use it, you'll be able to tell if the seal is still good which is another safety indicator. <br /><br />If you're really frightened, just make a small batch of "fridge jam" and keep it chilled. It will keep well for about a month. <br /><br />I (being sorta neurotic) always do a fifteen minute water bath on my canned jams and jellies. I know some people don't, and they're still here, but fifteen minutes of my time is worth not worrying about it. <br /><br />It figures this is the one year I didn't make marmalade or I'd send you a jar.In the absence of Sevilles, I like to use blood oranges.<br /><br />Goody@eattheblogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-23447082393359938272010-01-17T20:04:44.315-08:002010-01-17T20:04:44.315-08:00ECL,

No hopes of seeing them around here I'm afraid. <br /><br />A quick word of warning about Sevilles though-they cause similar reactions with medication that grapefruit does, so be careful if that's something you need to watch. Of course, you can't really sit down and eat a Seville orange or drink a glass of juice, so you would be ingesting much smaller amounts. <br /><br />Goody@www.eattheblog.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-58079284638390729982010-01-16T04:19:32.403-08:002010-01-16T04:19:32.403-08:00Thanks Hanaâ!Thanks Hanaâ!faithyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442407119836426810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-67118405769112507242010-01-16T01:10:40.898-08:002010-01-16T01:10:40.898-08:00Thanks everybody!

I’ve made one in another book several times and love it. Can’t wait to taste Rose’s version. I did some reading and learned that a sponge cake absorbs the milk mixture better than a cake made with butter, without making the cake soggy. Rose’s recipe uses a sponge cake too, so this will be interesting (my other cake recipe does use butter but the milk mixture is LESS than Rose’s and now I understand why).<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing all your Tres Leches cake creations :o) Did I mention I'm really excited to be guest-host this week?? :o)Hanaâhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660317268731033542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-58098565871185329362010-01-15T01:25:10.390-08:002010-01-15T01:25:10.390-08:00Congrats Jennifer on holding the title this week!
...Congrats Jennifer on holding the title this week!<br /><br />Just to annoy you all, I have my Seville oranges. They smell just like bitter marmalade and look very organic (all different shapes and sizes and motley)! Not at all like the uniformly perfect Cal. navels we see here usually!<br /><br />BTW, I had to google Zagat writer to work out what that was...always learning something new with this group.<br /><br />Jenn, I also don't have nor want an angel food pan. I did see somewhere on the net about making them in cupcakes lined with baking paper - a la Faithy's catalan pinch cake for photos.Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09276278631468370980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-47874032142393562042010-01-14T21:00:19.724-08:002010-01-14T21:00:19.724-08:00The Seville oranges are extremely sour.

I've never tasted any other citrus that sour, so I think the substitutes wouldn't be exactly right, but there are other ways to make orange curd that will be good too, just not the same :)<br /><br />I did stop in whole foods, and they don't have them yet, but can you believe I spotted a container of red currants? I never expected to see those in January. I checked some photos from last year, and I didn't get my Seville oranges from whole foods until about February 12th.Matthewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-21097575018608839412010-01-14T19:22:56.317-08:002010-01-14T19:22:56.317-08:00Congrats Jennifer!

Thanks Marie for the welcome, I'm looking forward to joining the group and start a baking storm around these parts. <br /><br />Like you mention, NYC was calling so I could not join everyone this past weekend baking the cake of the week, but after reading everyone's post about, I'm going bookmark it for later time.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to the Tres Leche cake.. This is actually a signature cake for me. I been baking a different version for over 20 years (was taught by the mother of one of my best friends in Junior High, they were from Nicaragua and this cake is BIG over there) but after reading Rose's recipe, and realizing it its done a bit different, I'm ready for the challenge.<br /><br />And like everyone else, I'm in "TOTAL" hunt mode for those Seville oranges as well. If I fail, I'm taking Mendy's suggestion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185483325188799760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-8030099686344008592010-01-14T16:16:37.001-08:002010-01-14T16:16:37.001-08:00ב''ה

It would seem that a bundt pan would be better than a round layer cake pan because it would heat in a similar way, but it's hard to imagine an angel food cake in a bundt pan. Sometimes you see loaf-shaped angel food cakes in bakeries, so it might work to bake a couple of smaller cakes in loaf pans.<br />Readers, have any of you tried alternative pans?Mariehttp://heavenlycakeplace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-39921816632432302002010-01-14T15:06:41.969-08:002010-01-14T15:06:41.969-08:00I don't have an angel food pan.
