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.

Pool Time!

We spent the weekend at our friends' pool. We took the dogs with us Sunday so they could have a play date. M and B have to pit bulls that are so sweet. Nahla, the youngest one, loves to play! They were also puppy sitting the cutest beagle ever!  They absolutely love going places! They were waiting in the car while I was loading our things.  I've never been able to get Hatfield in the pool, but Lilly loves it. She started off just sitting on the steps and one day she just jumped in. So, now she jumps in every now and then to cool off. Kev mixed up refreshing peach mojitos (I guess I've had major peach craving lately) this weekend. I'd share the recipe but that's his job. I never really know what all goes into what I'm drinking. I just know it's delicious!
