Raspberry Jam

Thursday afternoon I made raspberry jam. The grocery store had quarts of raspberries on sale, so I bought two.


I use the cooked jam recipe that comes in the Sure-Jell box. All you need are berries, sugar and the box of Sure-Jell. I have this contraption that crush the juice out of berries. My aunt bought it and my water bath for me several years ago. 
Once you crush and juice the berries, add 5 1/2 cups of sugar. Add cold water to the fruit pectin and slowly add the the berries. You bring them to a boil. I forget for how long, but it's in the box.
Ladle the liquid into the hot jars, wipe the rims clean, and process in the water bath for 10 minutes.
I love homemade jam! All I've ever made is each, strawberry, and raspberry. Would like to try more!

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

Dogwoods

Sunday I inventoried our Dogwood Trees. We have 24 total. Some are just small bushes. There are probably about 12 big trees. I marked them so that when we are clearing brush later we won't kill them. My hope is to clear out some around them so they can all grow into large trees. They are absolutely beautiful to look at!!! I want to get some more pictures, but I got Poison Ivy on my legs the other day so I'm staying out of the woods for now.
