Jam time!

While we have had a very wet and cool spring and summer, jam-making season has *finally* arrived! Reed picked a bit bucket of large ripe raspberries today, oldest child helped me to put them through the food mill to seed them, a little pectin (citrus pectin so that we can make very low sugar jam) and we now have 11 jars of jam (and oldest child got to eat the little bit we had extra).
