The tart cranberry juice adds a bright pop to the raspberries and gives this jam a nostalgic…

    First, you go to the beach…then you make the pretty succulent planters. My family recently moved to Northern Illinois from Eastern North Carolina and while in NC I loved going with a friend of mine to the beach to find shells and shark teeth.
