Raspberry Freezer Jam

 Raspberry Freezer Jam This isn't a recipe...it's just to help myself remember what I did.  So the next time I make jam I can decide if I want to switch it up.  I'll explain.... In January, I stumbled on a blog called wordofwisdomliving.com and it opened my eyes to the extreme amount of processed foods we eat. High fructose corn syrup, sugar, hydrogenated oil, etc.  So when I went to make a batch of freezer jam and again looked at the amount of sugar and corn syrup, I wanted to try and make a change.  So I made a batch of sugar free that was sweetened with stevia (a natural non-caloric sweetener - still not the healthiest thing, but I feel like a step in the right direction).  The batch was awful (stevia has a bitter after taste sometimes) and I was so mad that I wasted that much fruit.  So I made a normal batch and decided to conduct an experiment on my kids.  I combined the two batches and waited to see if my kids would notice.  They never ...

Roasted Beets
