Then and Now- Raspberry Picking and Jam Making

 Raspberry Picking-


I remember when I was young picking berries with my grandma, grandpa, and parents.  My aunt and uncle always had an awesome patch.  When my kids were young we would go pick berries at Aunt Karen's house or my mom or grandma would take my kids picking.  


            This last week I went raspberry            picking with two of my daughter in                      laws and two of my grand kids.  It brought back a lot of memories of when my kids were young and when I was young.  We picked 37 pounds in a couple of hours.  In the following days I put up 30 cups of low sugar raspberry jam and froze a few bags of raspberries for baking.  






It is so fun to do things with my kids and grandkids that I did as a child.  I love to think that I am making memories for them that they will have for years to come.
