Raspberries~

Mon petit jardin suffered at the beginning of the year..but there is a renouveau..

Although drier now..more sun..


Doesn't it look like an edible southern Christmas tree? Little dangling decorations..
It brought my raspberries to life again!!



I have little fingers that love to pick..and I love those little fingers and the picking:)

But what I did salvage I put to use!:)

I was perusing blogs last week and found this at Kevin's~



Yes I did have blueberries..but store bought..~
I did though....have FRESH home grown raspberries and I love raspberries and lemon..Do you too?

It worked!!

I love the condensed milk with the lemon rind and juice..it's perfection.. I love oats and brown sugar and butter..I love raspberries..
I sound like I love everything..I almost do quite truthfully.

GREAT recipe..a keeper.. voted so by Jacques and I~

6. Meanwhile mix the egg yolk into the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and zest and let it sit.
