Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Instructions
- If using fresh raspberries, rinse and drain them. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them completely.
- In a medium saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar and break down the berries.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15–25 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture thickens. To check doneness, place a spoonful on a chilled plate and run your finger through it—if it wrinkles slightly, it’s ready.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 10–15 minutes.
- Transfer jam to clean jars or containers. Once cooled completely, store in the refrigerator.
Notes
To make seedless jam, strain the cooked mixture through a fine mesh sieve while warm.
Use a combination of berries for a mixed fruit version.Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavor.Reduce sugar for a less sweet jam, but note the consistency may be looser.This jam is not shelf-stable and must be stored in the fridge or freezer.
