All for a Good Cause
In three hours, I’ve managed to complete three batches of Blackberry Jam.
With the blackberries making their grand debuts, I went to town picking as many as I possible could, at the time not having an specific plans with what to do with them. Pie, jam, cobbler? There were so many dang berries over taking my kitchen they had to be done away with in some yummy fashion.
Jam it was, and here is why.
A wonderful coworker of mine is an avid cyclist. He is participating in the 2-day M.S. Bike Ride. Rallying the troops at work, many of us have wanted to find some way to contribute to his team and make a difference any way we could. Many in our office have personal M.S. stories, whether they be someone’s parent, best friend, or someone that they met just once in their life.
Since I bake, make jam, do other things to attempt to be girly and domestic – I figured I could contribute some home made jam to the garage sale that is being impromptuly thrown as a fundraiser. All proceeds of the jam sale will be going directly to James’ team.
So I set this all up boiling jars, lids heating up, and berries a rolling. Look at the mix going on up there. *Drool*.
