Raspberry Jam

This is how we started the day! So to fill you in, my son loves his two kids cookbooks. As we are unpacking after the latest move he was so excited to see his Sesame Street cookbook and could not wait to make snacks from it! So this morning I let him pick out what he wanted to make and he picked these cute little sammies and you make you own jam. He wanted to make triangle shape and raspberry jam.

Berry Jam Sammies
1 bag frozen berry of choice we did raspberries(that is what we had on hand)
1/3 cup of sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Whole grain sandwich bread
Stir together the berries and sugar in a large microwaveable dish

Microwave on HIGH for 2 mins. Stir and mash up berries a bit.Add the lemon juice and stir.
Return to Microwave and cook up to 8 mins, check and stir about every 2 mins.
Allow the jam to cool. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 weeks or freezer for 4 months.
Add Peanut Butter if you like and enjoy with some cold milk=)
