Just wanted to wish everyone a safe and wonderful Fourth of July!
I will be spending my July 4th with hubby, my girls and hubby's nephew, just relaxin' & chillin'.
On the menu will be:
Hickory Smoked BBQ Ribs, Home Fries, Tortellini Salad and
for dessert, Cinnamon Buns.
Sometime this weekend I'll be canning up some Black Raspberry Jam and perhaps try making, for my first time, Raspberry Cordial.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Ohh, that Grace is a real DOLL! What a punkin! It must be so hard to be so far from your family-but it sounds like you have a very loving family right here too. Aren't animals a blessing? Your dogs are beautiful. Have a great 4th, and thanks for stopping by, neighbor! Blessings, Debra
Happy 4th of July, YD! :-) I hope you have a wonderful day with your family and dogs. I too have family across the pond, so I more than understand what you feel like when looking at pics of Gracie. She is adorable. Can't wait to hear how the black raspberry jam turned out. I'm getting ready to make your raspberry sweet loaf for a picnic tomorrow! :-) Lena (& Kane)
Boy, that menu sounds fantastic. I sure wish we lived closer because I would SO storm that picnic and eat all that food! Yum!
I expect recipes! **fingers tapping**
Blessings and Happy 4th!

Hello!!!!
My friends, who are from Poland, make gallons and gallons of their own fruit cordials and, let me tell you, they are fantastic. So good, in fact, that my husband and I started doing our own, too.
One of the things I like most is what my friend calls Ratafia. I keep a large mason jar around and fill it with things as I use them: apple peels, melon rind, berries that are kind of mushy but not really 'bad' yet, squeezed citrus wedges, etc. Sprinkle a couple tablespoons of sugar over each layer as you add it and top it off with some (cheap) vodka. Once the jar is full, let it sit for about 2 months, decant it to a bottle and let that sit for about 2 months, then enjoy!
Sounds like a great weekend, good luck with your jam and cordial!

Did you make the cordial?
Hope you enjoyed your 4th July celebrations! :D
