Tiereny and I made homemade raspberry jam last night...and I've got to say that I am pretty proud of myself. Most things I try and make don't turn out so hot but I think this jam looks edible. Although I haven't tried it yet. I'm just impressed with myself that I made it. Now the next thing I am going to attempt is bread and pie. I'm pretty sure Darren doesn't think I can conquer bread since when I do Rhodes he calls my rolls hockey pucks. Now I want to master bread just to prove him wrong. If anyone has any great recipes (and when I say great, I mean easy) send them my way.

Bread Recipe
INGREDIENTS
3 cups warm water
3 tablespoons active dry yeast
3 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup white sugar
8 cups bread flour
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, salt, oil, sugar, and 4 cups flour. Mix thoroughly, and let sponge rise until doubled in size.
Gradually add about 4 cups flour, kneading until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn several times to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise until doubled.
Punch down the dough, let it rest a few minutes. Divide dough into three equal parts. Shape into loaves, and place in three 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch greased bread pans. Let rise until almost doubled.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes. The loaves may need to be covered for the last few minutes with foil to prevent excess browning.
