Ingredients

The ingredients needed to make raspberry jam are very simple, you just need to prepare the following:

-500 grams of fresh raspberries

-300 grams of granulated sugar

-1 tablespoon of lemon juice

Step by step

Here is the step by step procedure to make raspberry jam:

Step 1: Clean the Raspberries

First, you need to wash the raspberries. Place the raspberries in water and gently scrub them with your hands until all the dirt is removed. Then place the raspberries on a paper towel to dry.

Step 2: Cook the Raspberries

Place the raspberries in a large saucepan and add the sugar and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely melted. Then reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the raspberries, stirring constantly, until the raspberries are soft and begin to break down.

Step 3: Break up the raspberries

When the raspberries are soft and begin to break up, you can break them up with a blender or spoon. If you prefer a smoother textured jam, you can puree the raspberries in a blender.

Step 4: Bring to a boil

When the raspberries are broken up, reduce the heat to medium and continue to boil. Stir constantly until the jam starts to thicken. You can test the consistency of the jam with a spoon by pouring the jam onto the spoon, if the jam pours down slowly then it has thickened enough.

Step 5: Bottling

When the jam has become thick enough, pour it into clean glass jars. Cover the jars tightly and place them in the refrigerator to cool. Your raspberry jam is ready!
