Raspberry Peach Jam
Meet the Cook: While my jam won a first-place pink ribbon at our local county fair, that may not be the highest compliment it's received. Two girlfriends I share with tell me if they don't hide the jam from their husbands and children, they'll devour an entire jarful at just a sitting!
Here on our acreage, my husband and I grow fruit. We're parents of a 7-year-old, 5-year-old and 6-month-old.
