Today, we made raspberry jam. OK, technically, there were some blackberries and a few blueberries thrown in for filler. The blackberries made a nice addition of tartness. This should replenish our stock of raspberry jam. We still have about two dozen jars of jam, jelly, and preserves from last year, not to mention pickles, pizza sauce and applesauce. This year, we should get a boatload of tomatoes. In fact, we might even have enough to supply our year's worth of tomatoes if they start ripening soon. Now all I need to do is find something to do with cucumbers other than making pickles. Anyway, enjoy the photos.
