Nowadays I'm getting pickier and pickier about what I eat (or just weird about it), and since I prefer red raspberry preserves (thicker, chunkier jam) to all other jams and jellies, that's what I eat almost exclusively. I'm really hoping my back will be healed enough by the time raspberry season hits so I can can this year. I'm down to my final couple jars left from last year. Or maybe I just need to find some good helpers! -- jinx the minx |

Nowadays I'm getting pickier and pickier about what I eat (or just weird about it), and since I prefer red raspberry preserves (thicker, chunkier jam) to all other jams and jellies, that's what I eat almost exclusively. I'm really hoping my back will be healed enough by the time raspberry season hits so I can can this year. I'm down to my final couple jars left from last year. Or maybe I just need to find some good helpers! jinx the minx == I hope there is some improvement with your back? Yes, I think good helpers might be 'a good thing' ![]() As for getting pickier, I have been finding that for a few years now. On a regular basis I find I either don't like, or don't fancy, foods I used to love. -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
