We had a crisis yesterday . . .

My mother-in-law recently returned home from a hospital stay and I'd brought over a meal to share. She asked me to get something from her freezer in the shed out back of her house.

We'd had a wind and rain storm here in Kitsap County Wednesday and evidently the breaker had tripped. I discovered her freezer was off and all the items were defrosted (albeit still cold) - including the harvest from her raspberry bushes she'd spent hours tending and picking last summer.

I knew we needed to preserve them right away, but it's been years since I'd made jam and we're trying to reduce our sugar - using agave and stevia instead. Anyway . . . I went online, found your site, and watched your video!

With renewed confidence, I dug out and dusted off my canning supplies, put my jars through the dishwasher, then went to the market for some Pomona's Pectin! By 9:00 last night, my daughter and I had a dozen jars of Christmas Raspberry Jam!

My family and neighbors will be receiving the fruits of our labors, along with scone
mix . . . all thanks to you, Connie, and your wonderful Pomona's Pectin.

Merry Christmas . . . and thank you!
