Mmm...Raspberry Jam

The only thing better than homemade strawberry jam is raspberry jam, of course.


Last week I bought a flat of raspberries from Reams. I love raspberries. Why oh why do they have to be so expensive? Anyway, a flat of twelve 6 oz containers was $9.99. I made two batches of freezer jam and the kids and I ate the rest.

10- 6 oz cartons of raspberries= $8.30
2 pkgs of pectin= $2.90
3 cups of Sugar= $.48
30 minutes of my time that would have been wasted otherwise= $0
Total $11.68 for 9 cups of Jam ($1.30 a cup)
