Jam and Pesto



So my friend, and boss, Julie Engstrom let me pick raspberries at her sprawling country home (she might deny the sprawling part... but she does have gardens and berry bushes galore!). I got about a gallon of berries and decided to make Jam! Just sugar, berries and a little lemon juice and cooked them till they were thick! Then... I canned it! Talk about domestic! But it sure was fun!


I also got a bunch of basil from her home as well! so I made... Pesto. Walnuts, Basil, Parmesan cheese, olive oil and a little lemon juice to keep it from oxidizing. Delicious!
