My first Raspberry harvest! Don't they look yummy? Unfortunately, this is the
ENTIRE raspberry harvest ~ 7 berries. Oh, well.
Flowers are my
forté , they're so easy to grow. Fruits and veggies, I've discovered, are a much bigger challenge. This summer I've harvested 5 tomatoes, 3 zucchini and 1 lemon cucumber with a bug inside.
Plus 7 raspberries. So, things are looking up.
Are you a jam lover? This is a yummy, homemade, spreadable fruit recipe though I still call it jam. Sounds nicer. Small Batch Raspberry Jam * This recipe takes about 20 minutes, stays fresh in the frig for about 6 weeks. 
Over low heat, dissolve 1 packet unflavored gelatin in 1/3 cup water.
Stir these goodies into the saucepan and bring to a boil:
3 cups fresh raspberries, 3 tbs honey, 2 tsp lemon juice, 2 tsp lime juice.
Hey! Nobody told you to stop stirring! Reduce heat, cook for 5 more minutes. Poor into jam jars and refrigerate.
* No pectin, all fruit, quite yummy, must be stored in the frig.
