Peachy Piquant Jam from Kelli's Kitchen

Yesterday I worked at the University editing two new videos for caregivers. Because I was in the town where I live, I was able to come home for lunch.

Dreamsicle Jelly

I remember my mom standing out by the side of the road, in her cat-eyes sunglasses waving down the Pinky-Dinky man. She would buy me anything I wanted as long as it didn’t cost more than a dime….yes, a dime! She always bought herself a push-up. Always. Mom loved those things, still does. As a…
