Raspberry jam

Well, yesterday marked a very important day in my grown-up life. I made jam for the first time without having anyone telling me how to do it. I had to just follow the recipe and rely on what I had been taught 3 years earlier by my grandma Kennington.

Bridger mixing up the first batch of freezer jam. I had never made freezer jam before so I hope it worked!

Bridger documented us filling the jars with the hot cooked jam.
Brent helping me fill the jars with the cooked jam.

Proof that I was involved in the process!

See, my hands are touching the jar of jam.
I'm glad Brent made it with me a few years ago so that when I was doubting he could reassure me that we did it that way with Grandma.

We haven't tasted it yet, but it looks pretty good.

I make raspberry freezer jam ever year too. I have always just used the recipe that's on the inside of the Pectin box, and it works great. I haven't made a batch this year, yet, and don't know if I will actually get around to it. Yum, Yum, Yum. Good job!
