One of my greatest pleasures of summer is having the opportunity to make jam from raspberries that I need only to walk across the yard to obtain. I actually have two sources of these delightful berries. One source is my own, which I grow at the back of my garden; and the other is a neighbor that has been most generous over the years to let me pick their raspberries that grow right along our adjoining property lines. This year has been a good year for raspberries despite our harsh winter that I actually lost quite a few bushes to. We eat a lot of the berries just for fun, but with the bulk of them I make raspberry jam. My brother, Pat, loves raspberry jam -- so Pat, this jar is for you.

Homemade raspberry jam is the best, I usually freeze it and then when I am ready to use it, it is kind of runny so you can put it over ice cream, I do the same with strawberries too. Enjoy the fruit of your harvest.
I love raspberry jam! Your jars are super cute! :0)
I feel so out of touch with nature, I have never seen actual raspberry plants before. Those are gorgeous. Fresh jam, that would go perfectly with some homemade biscuits.
Monica, Pat is going to be thrilled to be Blog-Worthy!!
I'll tell him as soon as he wakes up from his nap.
