Raspberry Freezer Jam

 Towering Raspberry Freezer Jam. Start with about 4 cartons of raspberries. I never measure for freezer jam. Eat some. Put a lot in the bowl.   Make sure you have 8 cups of sugar, and 2 pouches of liquid certo and a good splash of lemon juice ready to use.

 Mash berries with the sugar. Let stand  at least 10 minutes. Stir in the two pouches of certo ( liquid, not crystals) and lemon juice. Then ladle into small plastic containers. Freeze. Realllllllllly good on ice cream...... and anything else  that comes within your reach!

Restaurant at Salmon Point

 Love going to Salmon Point to walk around the bird sanctuary and the wild beaches. Other day was far too stormy to do anything like that. So took our company to the restaurant. Always take everyone there. On a nice day you get to sit out on the terrace, right by the ocean. On a day like it was a couple of days ago, you get to sit inside the rustic restaurant by  a large window, so you can stare longingly outside. I love how they bring ice cold water in pop top bottles.................everyone  wants the chance to pour.
   Salmon Point is actually an RV  "resort"....plain and simple, with a great restaurant. Worth the drive out from Campbell River, which is only 20 minutes away.

 Seafood Chowder with Ceasar Salad.  Fresh seafood, not clumpy or bland. Nice and creamy.

 Grilled, Wild Sockeye Salmon with grilled veggies in season.  This actually comes with a maple glaze, but I don't like maple,so  easy to request a change. They are very accomodating.

                       Portobello Mushroom Burger. Huge thing. Wonderful. A littel messy, but worth it.

And finished with a guinness.............Coming to Salmon Point has become a place that we know well. Just wish the weather would have co-operated so we could have sat by the ocean and watch the sail boats toodle by.  One can only imagine......

Moxie's

 Sweet Potatoe Fries...perfect for one, or two or three......nice sweet crunchiness coupled with the dip trio. One in a curry base, nice  flavoured, not too strong, the other kind of dilly. But I think the fries are best just on their gold own.

                             As you can see...short work was made of these swseet potatoes.

 Simple dessert for kids, but I was fascinated by the prsentation. Just a scoop of ice cream served with dry ice upon which hot water was poured to get the ghostly effect.

                                                             Wonderful Volcano

Custard berry tart with shortbread crust. I did think the shortbread base was a bit too dense, and not enough creamy custard filling, but  very fresh and good.
