It's definitely not for everybody! 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!

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.
