Mountain Dew Jelly Taste Test
Sorry this took so long. I often have no bread of any kind in my house. I finally got off my lazy ass and bought a package of English muffins. I toasted one so I could try the Mountain Dew jelly.
First Impression: I nearly couldn't get the damn lid off! Once I removed the threaded ring, I had to run hot water over the lid and knock it awfully hard with the edge of a table knife. Other two-piece lids I've opened haven't been nearly so fused.
The jelly had set just fine. A little soft, but nothing wrong with that.
It tastes lemony. Just that - lemony. Well, sweet, too; in fact it's way the heck too sweet for me, but that only means it falls squarely into jelly's nominal range. :-) Its resemblance to Mountain Dew is exactly those attributes, lemony and sweet, plus the radioactive yellow color.
When picking up the English muffins I also bought Reed's (didn't see Blenheim's in Trader Joe's) ginger beer. Project number two comin' right up.
