A while ago, my husband and I were walking through a super store I don’t particularly like…actually if I could afford it, I would NEVER go there. While we were meandering, we spied what looked like cinnamon rolls that were swirled with fake raspberry goo instead of cinnamon. Now, I would NOT buy those, they are FILLED with preservatives, chemicals, and very little real things. It did get my brain moving though.  As soon as we got home, I grabbed a couple clam shells of raspberries (I LOVE Driscoll’s Berries), some sugar and chocolate and started my quest.

This jam is INCREDIBLY easy to make. The hardest part is if you don’t like seeds. My family generally does NOT like seeds in their jam, so I strained out MOST of the seeds. I wanted to keep some in to make sure it was kept “real”. The amount of seeds and work is really up to you…well really you and the raspberries. This stuff is GREAT on toast, crackers, in sandwiches, with Brie…and you know what else??  Swirled inside dough! So guess what the next post is??!!

Be good sweet readers. But, not too good! That’s boring. ;)
