Raspberries in the Kitchen!
Picked your batch of delicious raspberries? Here are some fun and easy ways to incorporate raspberries into your cooking!
The various fresh jams from Killam & Bassette Farmstead have become a staple in my household. My kids are obsessed with these jams, so I thought about how fun it would be to try making our own! I researched many different recipes, but when I came across the 10 Minute Raspberry Jam recipe, I was sold. That’s right, you heard me…10 minutes! Of course, I was a little skeptical at first- must be too good to be true. Well let me tell you, it’s not a fabrication. This jam was super easy to make and having my kids help out in the kitchen made the process even better!
