All this and a haircut too

We had little sandwiches last weekend at a little outdoor cafe in the middle of almost-nowhere. Little sandwiches with very dark homemade bread, brie cheese, thin sliced ham and a pepper jelly that was unspeakably good

No wonder at all. Completely logical! :)

Stupid marmalade. Or stupid fake sugar. It isn't yet turning into marmalade (after 8 hours)anyway. It's stupid red pepper lemonade.
Any suggestions? (apart from throwing the stuff out from the balcony)
Wonder what happens if I re-boil it and add a thickener.

I still say we call it a "pepper sauce" - it tastes too yummy to throw off the balcony. But if we DO throw it off the balcony, let's put it in a water gun and shoot it in a trajectory that takes it upward and inward so that the elephants get a little surprise.

Perhaps you can add just a pinch of real sugar, if it has other properties than artificial sweetener when used in cooking. Or some other carbohydrate like potatismjöl, which probably is what you had in mind.

Anyway, pepper lemonade sounds interesting. Maybe you can sell the idea to that US company who manufacture all kinds of weird soft drinks: stuffed turkey on a bottle and so on. Your live-in American can vouch for its excellence if the manufacturer is in doubt. ;-)

You're a very, very lucky woman.

Well. After working on the marmalade thing again today, it is now less stupid. Thanks to Zapac for seconding my gameplan. You were right, it's what I had in mind, but it felt good getting a second opinion to confirm that I wasn't totally insane to do it.
About the soda... can I call it "(you'll probably need a) DOKTOR, PEPPER soda" where the parts written in lower case will be in very small print?
