We're Jammin'!!!

Caite and I made some Raspberry Jam!! It turned out wonderful! Caite squished the raspberries, I did all the measuring and Caite did the stirring. We tried 2 different recipe's and they both turned out OK. We already have 1 jar finished-after a loaf of bread today! The kids absolutely loved it on their toast this morning and also with peanut butter later this afternoon.

Mixing in the sugar
This is fun!!
Ta-da!
10 containers!! 4 pints, 1 jar and 5 cups!
Good enough to eat!Guess you could say we are pretty proud of our jam. This was the first time that I made jam without my mom around. I used to help her out when she made chokecherry jelly when I was younger, putting the paraffin in the jars, also.

The raspberry jam was a hit at the breakfast table this morning!
