More JAM!

Made alot more jam this week...

D and I went up to Apple Hill a week ago and enjoyed the fall feel of things...walked around a few of the different farms up there, we always enjoy High Hill Ranch, there are so many craft booths and whatnot...We took and drive and just took the day slow (which was wonderful!)

a cool selection of pumpkins that were all piled up

D, eating an apple fritter...of course :)

During our drive we did a little junking and found a chair that had the same Duncan Phiffe style that some of the ones we've found before had, so we picked that up! And then we stopped by Boa Vista Orchards and bought some produce and a 25lb box of canning pears!

So, yes, I've been making jam repeatedly over the last week. Raspberry pear jam...it's amazing!

It has such a thick but smooth texture (thanks to the pears), and the flavor is tart from the raspberries but because of the pears has a strawberry-like sweetness to it. It is SO good! My mom used to make this along with the apricot jam when we were younger, and I haven't had it in years!
