I was blessed to get 5 cups of raspberries from my pastor's wife's raspberry bushes, so I made some freezer jam. I usually do the traditional canning method, but it can be time-consuming and it seems to lose some of the just-picked flavor with all the processing. Since I only had one batch's worth of berries, I opted for the freezer method. Raspberry jam is at least $2.50 for 8 oz., and My Ben likes it, so this is a real treat! I used 5 cups of sugar, and I used the pectin that I had purchased in bulk last year in Amish country. Those were my only two expenses, so
the cost per half pint was only $.25!

And while I was busy with my jam photo op, Grace was busy in the fridge... just thought I'd share that to keep things real around here.
