Taking the clean lemon to his work station, Patroclus placed his hand on top of it and proceed to roll the lemon, it was after all the best way to extract all of the possible juice. "Diffindo!" with a flick of his wand, the boy halved the lemon, and squeezed the first half into the jam jar. With a teaspoon, he mixed the juice around, and tested the tiniest bit, Hmmmmmm still too sweet, the thought to himself. Taking up the second half he gave the lightest squeezed rendering only a few drops of lemon juice into the jar, and then with a new Teaspoon the boy tried again, "Perfect!" he smiled as he took out a grater and grated a small section of the lemon skin into the jar, "For zest!"
Screwing on the lid, he gave it a shake, then reopened his Melon and Lemon jam, "Would you care to try sir?" A legend?
Well, noone had ever called him THAT before. Sage smiled.. a slightly prouder smile than before as he made his way over to test out Patroclus' melony lemony jam.
Just as he'd done during his previous taste testing, the professor took some jam from the small leftovers in the cauldron. He didn't want to mess up everyones jars!
... YUM.
"MMM, this is good!" Sage exclaimed, licking his lips in a satisfying manner. "The lemon really gives it that extra little ... something. Well done, Patroclus!" Quote:

Alex told him raising her hand. She was nice, just normally too shy to offer to help someone and such but Zane did the same thing and he was normally right about things like this.. when it wasn't about Potions Class of course. Besides, if he liked the lightly tart of the Pear Jam then she was sure he wouldn't mind the just sweet enough Apple Jam.. After trying Patroclus' jam, he had himself another offer. This time from Alex who had apple jam. He couldn't turn down an offer for jam so quickly got himself a spoonful which he planted into his gob.
"This is good, just the right amount of sugar I'd say. Nice!" You could NEVER have enough jam. Quote:

She didn't really know how much sugar to add. she picked another tomatoe really quick washed it off and then sliced off a piece. As she chewed on it she realized about five cups of sugar should to it. She added the sweet confection that was sugar and stirred it in until dissolved. She brought the heat back up and stirred with her left hand while cutting another piece of tomatoe to eat with her right. She felt the mixture in cauldron begin to set and it looked thick. She poured it into a jar and grabbed a clean spoon. She pulled out some, blew on it and popped it into her mouth. It tasted kind of like ketchup but she wasn't so sure for she had been eating tomates so anything would taste kind of different to her. "Umm, Professor can you test taste mine? I think it taste kind of like ketcu but I'd like a second opinion please?"
He wasn't sure how the tomato jam would turn out.. but he definitely wanted to give it a try!
So that's what he did.
And it was a little ... strange. Sweet, and tomatoey.
Like ketchup. Hm.
"It's interesting," he commented lightly, licking clean his spoon. Maybe it was 'interesting' because he'd spoon also had apple, cherry, pear, strawberry and melony lemony jam on it.. "Sort of ketchupy, you're right." It certainly wasn't disgusting.
Setting the spoon to one side, Sage gave his watch a check. EEK! It was getting late! "Okay everyone, if you could finish up and jar your jam.. it's almost the end of the lesson. You can leave all your cleaning for me!"
