Old Fashioned Homemade Raspberry Jam
My mother in law makes the most delicious raspberry jam. She gave us a jar once and we finished it off in less than a week. I started craving it like crazy. Every time I saw her I would ask if she made some more (which probably got annoying-sorry). It's just that Mr. A and I make breakfast every morning and typically it involves some form of jam so it's top of mind every day. And while I love buying fresh jam from the farmer's market, it can get pricey when it really is the simplest thing to make. Whether it's smeared on sourdough bread under melty brie, bacon and eggs (seriously-try it!!!) or simply slathered on a buttered biscuit-we are jam people, folks. This recipe is inspired by my mother in law's. It takes about 15 minutes to make and you only need two ingredients. If you're like me, I'd make a couple batches as back up cause it's so yummy you'll end up adding it to just about everything you eat.
