Method
Preparation
- Wash the raspberries gently under cold water, drain, and let them dry. Measure out the sugar and lemon juice.
- In a large mixing bowl, crush the raspberries using a potato masher or fork until you achieve a chunky consistency.
Cooking
- In a large pot, combine the mashed raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and pectin. Stir until the sugar and pectin are well incorporated.
- Place the pot over medium heat. Stir frequently until the mixture comes to a boil. Allow it to boil for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Check the consistency by placing a small amount on a chilled plate; it should gel.
Final Steps
- Once ready, remove from heat and ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars. Seal them tightly while the mixture is still hot.
- Let the jars cool at room temperature. Once cooled, store them in the refrigerator or pantry.
Notes
Store your Homemade Raspberry Jam in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. For longer storage, transfer to airtight containers and freeze for up to a year.
