Born in the Wrong Century

My Aunt & Uncle have a huge raspberry patch and they always seem to go out of town each summer during part of the harvest. They let me pick while they are away and that makes for a lot of raspberries!

This is a simple jam that can be made plain but I wanted to add some of my lemon thyme since it is growing so well. Plus the green flecks look really nice when it’s spread on toast or swirled into yogurt. I’m going to keep experimenting...

This spring I picked wild rose petals & leaves to dry for tea & wanted to wait until later in the year to finish the tea with some of the rose hips. So this fall I gathered up a few colanders of rose hips & put them to use in a few different ways.

... A week later my 19 lbs of Lapins arrived and they were gorgeous, sweet & huge! I quickly went to work putting them up for wintertime use so I could get back to picking huckleberries :) ...
