Falling in love is like when you taste naked raspberry preserves so clean, so good that it brings the taste of summer to your mouth and tears to your eyes.

Spring raspberries have arrived in California just in time for me to make 150 tasty wedding favors. Add a little pomegranate juice and you have something really special. See my system for making a LOT of tiny jams.
