Making Jam Drops- Week 3 Home Ec

Last Friday, our class made Jam drops for Home Ec. They have a plain biscuit base that we then filled with a small dollop of jam that made them have a hit of colour and flavour. My group consisted of Presayus, Tarm and Starling. The group worked well together and all participated within the group, whether it was measuring  or mixing. Everything had to be measured perfectly, not over mixed and not over or under cooked.

Every member of the group was skilled in their own way, and we all melded well together and worked good together. Improvements could be that some people didn't understand what was happening and what was needed to be done. But other than that everything went smoothly, and we didn't do anything that was wrong. Well I don't think we did. They were cooked nicely, not over mixed and not burnt at all.

The two staff members that sent through responses, thoroughly enjoyed the biscuits and even brought forward memories of when she was younger and her mother would do the baking on a Friday night. To one staff member the biscuit was a bit flavourless, but the bit with the jam was really good.

Next steps that I could take would to be less controlling and bossy towards members of my group and to make sure that I listen to the teacher and my group members.
