Raspberry Jam
This morning I headed out with three sisters and a niece to pick berries at Potter Road Raspberries. Brenda and Mike Mahn have a beautiful spot with several varieties of raspberries, including some fall berries that will be available for picking until the snow flies. With the sun warming our shoulders, we spent a couple peaceful hours picking.
Sixty-two pints later we headed into the kitchen and whipped up 134 jars of jam.
And here's a fun idea Brenda shared. The raspberries are nice and big, perfect for stuffing with blueberries. She likes to stuff a bunch and freeze them. Then, in the winter, she pulls them out from the freezer for her granddaughter to dip in chocolate. Sounds like a great way to savor a taste of summer in the middle of winter!

Those Raspberries stuffed with blueberries look great. Never seen anything like that before. How do you do that with breaking up the raspberries?

Start with big raspberries! Even then, some of the blueberries didn't fit. Thought these were really cute.
