Fourteen cups of Raspberries!......         

I picked fourteen cups of raspberries today!  I am making jam!

Raspberry Jam ( from The Ball Blue Book) makes 8 half-pints


1 quart of crushed fresh raspberries 
6 1/2 cups of sugar 
1 pouch of liquid pectin.  


Combine the crushed berries with the sugar in a large saucepan.  Bring to a boil and stir until all the sugar is dissolved.  Add the liquid pectin and boil... a rolling boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute.  Remove from heat, skim off and discard any foam, and ladle jam into prepared jars.  Wipe off top edge of jars and seal with prepared lids and rings and place in water bath.  Bring water bath to a rolling boil, cover with lid and process for 10 minutes.  Remove from boiling water bath and set on a towel or cutting board away from drafts.  After 24 hours check to see if the jars have sealed.


And there you have it!
