Jam

I feel so very domestically accomplished when I make jam. The sounds of the lids popping as they seal is exquisitely satisfying. Canning in general always feels like an accomplishment. I took these berries that I picked and made them into something that I can tuck away in my cupboard and pull out in the middle of the winter to eat. And it's yummy.

I love that we have raspberries in the back yard. What an unexpected gift, to be able to pick a handful of berries as I get home from work each day. Without having to plant them or really tend them at all.
