Amazing Sketches, Tina Folks, Art Plus Conversation

Citrus Season.

I really like this sketch because it reflects of one of the things that I love about winter- the variety of citrus!

I love to cook, and canning and making homemade preserves has become one of my favorite things to do. It's a great "snow day activity." Recently, I made some Preserved Meyer Lemons (lemons packed in kosher salt, used in Moroccan, Turkish and Indian cooking), Meyer Lemon Marmalade, and Blood Orange-Apricot Marmalade.

All the seasons have their bounty, and winter's citrus is one of the best.
