Bear Lake is famous for its raspberries. It has the most delicious fresh raspberries which, in turn, make delicious raspberry shakes, raspberry syrup, raspberry jams. I LOVE raspberry jam, especially homemade raspberry jam made with love. My parents have always had freezer jams ready to share with family and friends.
Brook and my children have inherited my love of the sweet goodness and our yearly supply never quite lasts us through the year.
Before school began this year, Brynn and I headed to my mother's, aprons in hand, to carry on the tradition.
It was cute to see Brynn help and participate in the small ways she could. It was her job to mash the raspberries (she was a pro at it),
to put the lids on the jars once they were filled, and to entertain us with her stories. I don't know how much she enjoyed it, but I know I loved having her there as the 3rd generation. I hope we're set for another year (or at least until March).

Oh I just LOVE this post. 3 lovely generations of women plus raspberry jam. Can it get any better? I don't think so. And...I just read the previous post too. WOW! That Caitlyn is 1 lucky girl. Fun story about her seeing it and commenting on what a cute car it was. I also remember learning to drive stick shift. Dean taught me. Yep...first time he heard me swear!
You guys look so cute! I wish you could bring me a sampling of your jam!!!!! : )
I love this! It brought back so many memories of me helping my mom in the kitchen with all of her canning! I think that is getting to be a rarity.... nobody cans anymore! I'm glad you are keeping the tradition going in your family!
