Carnation Milk

A True Story …. Carnation Milk

When opening a can of carnation evaporated milk for your recipes just smile and think of this:

A little old lady from North Carolina had worked in and around her family’s dairy farm since she was old enough to walk, with hours of hard work and little compensation…

So when canned Carnation Milk became available in grocery stores, she read an advertisement offering $5000 for the best slogan/rhyme beginning with “Carnation milk is best of all ….”

She said to herself “ I know all about milking cows and dairy farms… I can do this!”

She sent in her entry, and about a week later, a black limo drove up in front of her house… A man got out and said, “Carnation LOVED your entry so much, we are here to award you $1000, even though we WILL NOT Be able to use it…

Here is her entry

Carnation Milk

Is best of all, No tits to pull ,

No hay to haul,

No buckets to wash,

No shit to pitch ,

Just poke a hole

In the Son-of-a- bitch

How to Make Natural Citrus Seed Pectin

While pectin is commercially available, many home cooks and canning enthusiasts are turning to natural sources, particularly citrus seeds, for a more organic approach.

Versatility in Use: These seeds can be transformed into a homemade pectin extract that complements a wide variety of fruits, especially those low in natural pectin.
Simplicity of Process: The method of extracting pectin from citrus seeds is straightforward and doesn’t require specialized equipment, making it accessible for all cooking enthusiasts.
