Look What I Did!!

Last Thursday a friend and I and our kids who weren't in school went to a local orchard and picked red raspberries. They charge $2 a pound and you can eat as many as you want while you are picking. I was having such a fun time picking that I went home with 5 1/2 pounds. After eating A LOT of them with cream and sugar I made jam. I have never made jam by myself and I am quite pleased with the results. It is so yummy!

Ooooooooooohhhhhhhh... if you only lived near me, I would make some delicious homemade rolls, and invite you and your jam over to enjoy it with some cold milk and a girly movie.

Good job! I love raspberry jam! It's my favorite. I probably should learn how to make it one of these days since I love it so much!

I'm so jealous! I've been wanting to do this all summer! I was afraid that it was too late to go pick berries. Hmmm...I may have to check into this.
