Silver Lining From A Neglected Cloud

No pruning, weeding or fertilizing all of 2023.  We spent most of the year scratching our traveling itch.
 
Nevertheless, and despite the neglect, our forlorn raspberry patch produced a bumper crop of berries - most of which we froze. 
 
 
The rest we ate with breakfast cereal, vanilla ice cream or straight-up.  We learned the doggo loves them too.  The birds got their share when we weren't looking.
 
 
This weekend I converted all of the stash from the garage freezer into jam. 
 
 
21 half pint jars to be sure.
 
 
Lost the 22nd jar to a rare blowout in the canner. 

Tried it out on Sunday morning breakfast toast.  
 
Perfection!
