SC native. Married with two teenaged boys. Work as kindergarten teacher's aide and church musician. Love to bake cakes and cookies and make jellies, preserves, and pickles. The recipe for Esther's Orange Marmalade Cake from the Mitford books is always a hit for me. I have adapted it for different fruits with great success. Baked whole pumpkin is a disaster. I follow the recipe precisely and it the custard looks awful and never sets up. After nuking in the microwave, it looks like gray scrambled eggs. My husband swears it's delicious but I refuse to even taste it.
