first jam

[ljgeoff]

On Tuesday, I went out and picked four cups of raspberries from our bushes across the street. The berries looked great, but their flavor was very meh. I mean, nice enough to eat fresh, but for jam a little meh. So I decided to add peaches to the jam, and some lemon juice to tart it up. I only made four pints, and it's lovely, but not very raspberry or peach-ish. I think maybe I added too much lemon juice? And way, it tastes like a berry sweet tart, with a very nice ruby color.
