Phase 2 of The House Behind The Trees ~ The downstairs #TeelsBuildaHouse

on
So we are starting the downstairs ... I HATE to say basement because we had a basement in our old home, where you opened a door and went down stairs separated from anything else. It was a finished basement complete with a bedroom, craft room, family/game room and we spent a lot of time there ~ our oldest son moved down there in jr high and stayed through high school ... until we finished the master suite in the attic then he moved back up to the bedroom floor with his brother and sister.  So here our downstairs is open to the rest of the house, you can see through to the outside from the top of the stairs going down because we have a wall of windows down there as well.  We really didn't plan to have a kiddo down there but since we are having to do a switch-a-roo with rooms (I'll explain later) he is moving home soon and will be downstairs. Anyhoo, our downstairs will house our main family room, our middle sons room, a full bath and kitchenette.  I thought it would be fun ...

Raspberries Galore means Raspberry Recipes and this jam doesn't disappoint BONUS: it's so easy to make!

on

This small-batch raspberry jam recipe is perfect for beginners and couldn't be simpler, just 2 ingredients and such a delicious treat for your morning toast .... or afternoon toast .... or late night snack toast!

Yesterday I shared on IG that the Mr and I found raspberry bushes galore on our property, along with a Mulberry tree, apple tree, cherry tree and a few others that I can't wait to harvest! Anyhoo, I starting researching what I could do with all those berries and this recipe is one of those "so easy I have to share" recipes because keeping it to myself would be a shame .... if you already knew about this easy peasy recipe then I apologize for the redundancy.


Lets get started:
All you need is 2/3 cup of granulated sugar and 6 oz container fresh raspberries. Put the berries and sugar in a medium saucepan, mash the berries with a potato masher or like utensil, add the with the sugar and watch the magic jam happen! Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and boil the mixture for 5-7 minutes, until it is thickened. Then pour this hot yummy goodness into a glass container, preferably a jelly ja, cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate up to 1 month. Makes about 1 cup.
