PRESERVES Growing and preserving food is one of my favorite things to do. I am blessed with raspberries. As many as I need. The first thing I make with my harvest is Jams and Jellies. It is everyone's favorite and you can do more than j
ust spread it on toast. Try adding a 
spoon full to Oat Meal or Cream of Wheat. Delicious on turkey sandwich as well.The recipe I use is in side the Certo Sure Jell Premium Liquid Fruit Pectin box. It provides several methods for different fruits. I have been preserving food since I was a child. Helping my grandmother, mother and Aunt. The caner I have was my Mothers. One tip I have is make sure your water bath is as hot as what you are putting in the Jars, do not let the jars cool or they will burst in the bath. Also use fresh Pectin throw out what you don't use in a season. It doe's age and all your hard work will be for not.Most important make sure you have a little helper with you. Not only doe's it make it f
un but you will be passing on a wonderful gift.

As always your food posts are a delight to read. It reminds me of how much I miss a garden. Being at the mercy of the grocery store is a bummer sometimes.
Oh yum ~ homemade raspberry preserves! We planted our first bush this year ~ so maybe next year we will have some. Right now our blackberries are literally dripping off their vines ~ just right for cobblers!
Have a blessed day ~
Mmmm...that looks yummy! What a nice blog. :)
Little House on Wheels...I too will be at the mercy of the grocery store soon. We will be full time campers and I know this is the one thing I will miss. So I have been preserving A LOT!
