Grapefruits are cursed

wiseheartApparently. I used a different recipe, and yet the results are the same as two years ago: something between jelly and syrup. At least the... thing is properly pink this time. I'm going to sell it as jelly, and if someone disagrees, well, that's their problem.
The lost battle against grapefruit... whatever took all morning. At least I didn't have to cook today - that would have been too much. Afterwards, I wrote the labels for the little jars (containing the misinformation that this is jelly), worked a little bit on my pillow cases (at least one phase is completed and I could start seaming them with blanket stitch) and watched telly and inane YouTube videos, respectively, in the rest of the time. I really should leave off those videos, I waste too much time on them, but can't at the moment. *sigh*
In the evening, I had a nice, long phone chat with my friend Evie, and with that the day was over. I'll try to be more useful tomorrow.
Update:
I've just checked on the jars, and after having spent a couple of hours in the fridge, the gelatine suddenly realized that its job was to thicken the stuff and did so. Now to find a nice, cool place for the jars, so that the jelly won't liquify again...
