Tonight was a beautiful, cool summer evening, and we went out to the raspberry patch just to pick a few berries for our breakfast tomorrow morning. The birds were singing loudly, and we were enjoying being out in the yard after a work day inside air-conditioned offices.
Before we knew it, we had filled seven baskets full of our beautiful berries! Tomorrow night after work, we'll stop at the store to replenish our canning supplies, and pick up some new jars and sugar and pectin. We have more raspberries this year than in any of the past 9 years, so I am prepared to create all of the jam possible to preserve this bumper crop for the coming year. It's also fun to share this bounty with family and friends. Nothing tastes quite like home-made, home-grown jam. Mmmmm....
