Good morning Saturday

Thank you for blessing us with extra zzzzz's. All three kids slept in until 8:30am which was huge and appreciated.
Adelle and I put on our boots and ventured right out to the raspberry bushes in the backyard to pick fresh berries while the boys snuggled on the couch in front of a movie.
The berries were waiting for us! We got a few cups picked and then sat on the lawn eating our fair share before coming inside.
Once inside I went to work making fresh raspberry rhubarb jam.
How did I do it?
5 cups rhubarb + 2 cups sugar (stir in large pot over medium heat until liquified)
Once rhubarb has all broken down (about 15 minutes) add 2 cups rasberries bring to boil and stir until it starts to thicken.
Remove from heat.
Add 1 packet Knox Original unflavored gelatin
Pour into hot jars
Seal

Homemade bread from the day before + fresh, warm, scrumptious jam =

That literally made my mouth water (must be lunch time over here)! I usually make strawberry jam, but i love rasberries. Gotta give this a try.
