Ailsa from Where’s My Backpack has been putting on a weekly photo challenge these last few weeks or so. It is officially called “Travel Theme” but since I don’t have a lot of travel photos in my recent archives, I have been posting photos from my city of Portland, Oregon.
This week’s subject is food and when I think of good food I think of my mother’s jam made with love from the raspberries in her garden.
♥
Lillian’s Lovely Raspberry Jam
Deliciously tasty.
Bright and beautiful.
Naturally sweet and artfully crafted
from juicy red raspberries
Hand-picked at their peak
Delectable, delightful and made with LOVE
♥
My Mom has been making this jam for years (Strawberry too) and it just gets better and better every year. I and everyone who have been lucky enough to receive a jar or two have all agreed that it is the best jam that we have ever tasted.
She has just made a new batch and I am in berry heaven…
Wishing you lovely day!
Strawberryindigo.

Love food, not just food but good food and my mum’s is the best.lol!!!
That’s great Udoji…What does your mum make? Perhaps someday I can come over for dinner… 😉
My mum makes African dishes back in the days and it’s gonna be nice to experience something new.So if you are ready?I am at your service. 🙂
Hey Udoji..what does your mum make? Maybe you can send me something tasty over the blogosphere? 😉
Lol!!!that’s funny!!! I enjoy my mum’s food because of it’s richness and variety.She prepares with different spice,herbs and flavourings which are used in conjunction with palm oil or groundnut oil to create deeply flavoured sauces and soups often made with very hot chili pepper.These sauces are refer to as stew which can be served with rice.Very tasty but I don’t know how to send it to you over blogosphere!
Hey Udoji… What you describe sounds really good. 🙂 I am glad that you have a mum that is such a good cook..a little bird also told me that she is beautiful which she must be.
I told my mum about you and she said that she probably hope to meet you soon and so on behalf of her,thanks for the compliments…. 🙂

when my son was small he was allergic to many foods…raspberries was one of the few fruits he could eat…it is still one of his all time favourites and when he comes home during the season i always try to have some for him
Hi Jo: Well you can never have enough berries….my daughter is that way about blueberries. 🙂 Thanks for commenting.
Those raspberries look gorgeous – I have discovered I love raspbberries this year. (Was never keen on them till now!) Beautiful photos again. 😀
Hey Cathy: Thanks….and the raspberries thank you…they were looking in the mirror just before the photo shoot and lamenting how fat they looked. I told them that they look great and they are naturally fat free. 😉
I’m glad you like raspberries now, perhaps you can make something yummy with them sometime….(hint hint) and then send me some… 😉
I’d love to make something with raspberries, but they barely make it to the kitchen before being devoured! 😉
That happens, Cathy. 🙂 Oh well….maybe next time… 😉
Mmmm!!! My favorite fruit!
Hi Sue: That’s wonderful. Raspberries are so tasty! 🙂
