Florida Citrus Center — Local services in Palm Coast

Anywho, I wish I had seen the Florida citrus center first since their prices were cheaper excluding the apple butter I bought for 9.99 and it's the worst apple butter I've ever had in my life. I'm guessing they used granny smith apples because it's tart and tangy as hell. Absolutely no sweetness to it at all. It's so tangy my tongue it he'd after trying it.It appeared homemade so I assumed it would be like the Amish apple butter or even musselmans but nope, substitute it for a lemon and spread it on fish, it's...
