Easy Raspberry Freezer Jam or Topping (healthy)

It is one of the most wonderful times of the year. I love making foods with fresh produce. I found these raspberries at the store. They were beautiful. I couldn't resist buying 2 flats. I came home and ate a cup of them fresh and then made the rest into jam. So yummy. I love raspberries. Raspberry jam is one of the best.You could also use this for syrup, topping, add to your smoothie. There are lots of possibilities. 

Ingredients:
Washed flat of raspberries
1 to 2 T lemon juice
4 T honey (sweeter if you desire)

Directions:
1. Pour all of the ingredients into the blender.
2. Pulse a couple times. Don't over blend.
3. Pour into freezer containers or zip locks.
4. It was so nice and thick without even adding thickener to it.
5. Put in freezer till ready to use.
6. I keep mine in the freezer sometimes in between uses. Enjoy a nice weekend!

Happy 4th of July Fruit topping or Fruit salad

Fourth of July Fruit  Topping or Salad

Topping on french toast.

It is 4th of July in the United States tomorrow. It is nice to celebrate living in America and think of those who fought and are still fighting for our freedom. I hope you have something fun to do for your day. We are going to have a family barbecue which should be nice.

I thought this would a fun topping for french toast, pancakes or waffles for your breakfast. You could also just eat it as a salad. The other yummy way to eat it is as a topping with vanilla ice cream or with almond cream. So you can decide. It whips up really fast and no oven needed.

1 lb of strawberries washed and sliced in thin slices
1/2 lb of blackberries washed
1/4 C blueberries
1 banana

6 strawberries
1 1 T honey
Powdered sugar to dust on top

Directions:
1. Prepare fruit. For Salad: Place strawberries on the bottom and then put blackberries in the middle.
2. Slice a banana and put around the edges. Scatter blueberries around the edges.
3. Place 6 strawberries in the blender and pour in honey. Blend until smooth.
4. Drizzle over the fruit. Place powdered sugar in sifter and dust with powdered sugar.
5. If you are doing it as a topping you can arrange as desired. Have a nice holiday
