FRENCH SODAS (BLUEBERRY, STRAWBERRY OR RASPBERRY)
An Italian soda is a refreshing combination of flavored syrup and sparkling water mixed in a cup of ice. The addition of half-and-half turns an Italian soda into a cremosa/creamosa or French soda. Don't use milk because it will separate. If you've ever purchased either an Italian or French soda, you know how expensive they can be. Make your own!

TRI-BERRY JAM
My mother-in-law and I dreamed up this jam after we'd been picking blueberries one day. She wondered if blueberries, raspberries and strawberries would taste good together. So she made a test batch-and we quickly learned that they definitely did! Then I came up with my own version of the jam. I preserve everything from our garden! -Karen Maerkle, Baltic, Connecticut
