It's Jam Time Again! (& an award!)

Well, I'm sad that strawberries are done for the season at the local berry farm, but now it's time for RASPBERRIES! Yum!

Next Tuesday, I'm heading back over to my mom's to make some lovely raspberry jam to add to my collection. The Big Guy is not as keen on raspberry jam as he is strawberry, but I love it and I also use it for gifts at Christmas time. =)

 Here are some of our beautiful jars of strawberry jam from our last jam-making session! Yum!
