Now I am going to be a bit embarrassed (em-bare-assed?). The package from Idaho finally was deposited on my doorstep yesterday afternoon at about 4 PM EST. And with all the confusion, they may have already sent me a replacement shipment via FedEx. Also, the manager of one of the local grocery stores that I had asked to stock Smucker's black raspberry jam called yesterday and said that although he could not stock it on a regular basis, he had obtained a case of it and I could come and get it, or just get some jars of it. So it looks as though I am going to have black raspberries coming out of my ears for a while.

Note: I had some today on a peanut butter and jam sandwich; the jam from Idaho, Pioneer Valley Gourmet Seedless Black Raspberry Jam, seems very mild; certainly not any better than Smucker's.
