Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

For raspberry topping, Grandma used seedless raspberry jam to minimize the total number of seeds in each bite. If she couldn't find seedless raspberry jam, she heated the jam in a saucepan over low heat until it melted, then poured it through a sieve, pressing hard to extract the jam. She discarded the seeds, then mixed the jam with the berries.
