Fresh Raspberries

 It's that time of year again!!  U-pick raspberry season!  I love eating them right off the bushes.  Yummy.  This year each kid had a little bucket to put their own raspberries into... of course that didn't last long and they just ate out of mine!!  I love Ellika's face in this picture. 
 There were quite a few mosquitoes (even with bug spray) so we didn't stay super long, but we stayed long enough to fill two containers.
 Adrienne, Emily, and Laura gathering their own crop.  Look how tall those bushes are!
 
 Step One:  Crush 4 cups raspberries
 Step Two:  Stir together pectin and sugar, add in raspberries
 Step Three:  Pour into jars and let sit 30 minutes. 
 Now that's a recipe I can follow!!!  I love freezer jam!!
 Have I mentioned Owen likes his bike now?  It's taken all summer but he actually rides it fast enough that I have to walk fast or jog to stay by him.  Yay!!  We even went for a family bike ride (short, but still all together) the other day.  So fun!!
