We're Jammin'

One of the things that I've missed a lot while we've been out here in St. Louis is the raspberry jam my mom makes. It's like a little piece of heaven on a piece of bread. Nothing Smucker's makes can even hold a candle up to it. Anyhoo, I decided to get in touch with my homemaking side and try making some here instead of forcing myself to wait until December to have some more. It was actually pretty easy, and now we're stocked with jam that tastes a ton better than the store stuff (not quite the same as Mom's, but very good nonetheless). My little pyramid is meager compared to the shelves that Mom makes, but it will be enough to take care of us for a while.

Bravo, Christopher! I'm jealous. Perhaps I should attempt to get in touch with my domestic side and make us a pyramid or two. Something to consider...

Looks like all those years of "helping Mom" paid off. I knew you' thank me someday.

yummy... I would love to learn how to make jam. My grandma makes the best and she's in Co. One day I will just have to learn.

Clever title. We were going to make some raspberry jam and it ended up not working as we expected, so we used it as raspberry syrup and ice cream and it turned out to be a really delicious mistake.
