This jelly is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add a little bit of honey next time to sweeten it up.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my jelly didn't turn out right. It's too thick and it has a strange aftertaste.

This jelly is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
