In September, I canned for the first time ever all by myself. On Labor Day, Lara, Glen, Spence, Cami, Emma, Adam, Ellie and I went raspberry picking and picked about 5 lbs. We knew we wouldn't be able to eat them all before they went bad, so I planned on making raspberry jam out of them. I had never done this, but with the directions in the pectin package and maybe a few clarifications from Lara, I did it all by myself. It made the three jars above plus part of another one. The jam was pretty good, if I do say so myself :) I think we've eaten them all now except a little bit of one of them. I ROCK!!!

You rOcK indeed A.L. Great job for your first canning effort. You should've sent a jar to mom and I!
I can tell that the picture above is NOT one of your typical self portraits. Bet you wonder exactly how I was able to figure that out...
I agree that AnnaLisa rocks!!!! Actually written by Matt, but Karey and Lincoln both also agree.
Amen to the rocking part! You can make us raspberry jam anytime you feel like it!
Ummm, that looks good AL.
Save some for dad and I.
Love
You rock!
