Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • (Optional) ½ teaspoon unsalted butter, to reduce foaming


Instructions

  • Rinse raspberries and gently pat dry if using fresh. No need to thaw if using frozen.
  • In a large saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Let sit 5–10 minutes.
  • Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir often as sugar dissolves.
  • Lower heat to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Test the jam by placing a spoonful on a chilled plate. If it wrinkles when pushed, it’s ready.
  • Skim off any foam, remove from heat, and ladle into sterilized jars.
  • Let jars cool to room temperature before sealing or processing for longer storage.

Notes

  • For seedless jam, strain the mixture through a fine sieve after cooking.
  • Add a teaspoon of vanilla or a splash of Chambord for a flavor twist.
  • Use a wide, shallow pan for quicker evaporation and better consistency.
