As a midwesterner, I am all about canning. There's something magical about taking the garden's delicious summer bounty and turning it into something that can be enjoyed throughout the year (homemade tomato sauce, I'm looking at you). Sometimes your raspberry bush doesn't produce enough berries to do a whole canned batch. Sometimes you eat them all. On occasion, the farmers market offers you a perfect pint that is so delicious you want (need) to find a way to prolong the magic. And thus, the seven minute jam. Fast. Easy. Yum.
