Homemade Raspberry Jam

January 3, 2017 by paula_rollo 2 Comments

Jams and jellies are things we use every single day, but usually we buy them from the grocery store. Why not make your own instead? It’s so easy to do, tastes better and will give you some peace of mind knowing all the ingredients that go into it (hint: there’s only two!). Instead of a paragraph of ingredients you can’t pronounce like most of the store-bought stuff. Today’s recipe is for homemade raspberry jam.

Raspberry Jam Ingredients 

  • 1 lb frozen raspberries
  • 7/8 cup sugar

Special note: We feel that this recipe maintains the essence of the raspberry without being overly tart. If your family prefers a more tart jam, use ¾ cup sugar. For a sweeter jam, use 1 – 1 ¼ cup sugar.

Step 1: Put medium sized  saucepan or saute pan over medium heat

Note: a saute pan works nicely for this recipe because it allows for  all or most  of the raspberries to be in contact with the at one time. This allow for faster cooking. if you do not have a saute pan, a medium sized saucepan will work just fine.

Step 2: Add raspberries and sugar to pan

Step 3: Stir to evenly coat raspberries with sugar

Step 4: Allow raspberries to break down, stirring occasionally

Step 5: Bring mixture to a simmer, allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes stirring occasionally

Step 6: Place in desired container and allow jam to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

Special note: there is no need to mash the raspberries prior to cooking. Their structure allows them to fully breakdown on their own when exposed to heat.

Extra tips: If you need to quickly cool your jam, line a sheet pan with cling wrap. Spread jam on pan and cover with cling wrap. Place in freezer. (Pics and more details to come)
