My paternal grandmother used to can two things that caused considerable trouble for my family. Fresh cherries & fresh raspberries. The trouble was that whenever we visited dad wanted cherries & I wanted raspberries and gramma would only allow one jar to be opened at a time. We took turns every year but we always argued over who's turn it was! :D Gramma's been gone for a lot of years & now so is dad. So basically, I can have all the raspberries I want, IF I could figure out how to make them! ;) I decided to learn how to can and this was my first attempt at a fresh fruit and I can't wait to open one & see if they taste like gramma's or not. I don't see why not, but they don't look quite as dark as hers did. I used the sugar amount noted for light syrup & I canned 3 pint jars. Thanks for sharing this recipe, CountryLady! I'm sure I'll be making it again & again! :)

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
