Ingredients
  

Fruits
  • 4 cups fresh raspberries washed and stems removed
Sugar
  • 2 cups granulated sugar adjust according to sweetness preference
Pectin
  • 1 package fruit pectin such as Sure-Jell
Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice for acidity

Method
 

Prepare the Ingredients
  1. In a large saucepan, combine the raspberries and lemon juice. Crush the raspberries with a wooden spoon to release their juices.
Cook the Jam
  1. Add the sugar and pectin to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Once boiling, continue to cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the jam thickens.
Jar the Jam
  1. Remove the saucepan from heat and skim off any foam. Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars using a canning funnel, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
  2. Seal the jars with lids and process in a boiling water bath for 5-10 minutes to ensure they are sealed properly.
Cool and Store
  1. Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature. Store in a cool, dark place.
