Red Raspberry Jam Recipe

To get started, gather your ingredients and let’s go step by step to create something truly special.

Ingredients

2 cups fresh raspberries
4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 package Sure-Jell (pectin)
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Begin by washing the raspberries gently to ensure they remain intact. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and Sure-Jell. Stir it well and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Make sure to constantly stir to avoid sticking.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, add in the raspberries and lemon juice. Stir gently to break up the raspberries while keeping some whole for texture.
Now, add the granulated sugar, stirring continuously until it is completely dissolved. This may take a few minutes, but it’s essential for the proper consistency of the jam.
After the sugar has dissolved, bring the mixture back to a rolling boil. Allow it to boil for exactly 1 minute without stirring.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Let it cool for a few minutes before ladling the mixture into clean jars or containers. Leave about half an inch of headspace in each jar.
Once jarred, let the jam sit at room temperature until set, usually about 24 hours. Then, transfer the jam to the refrigerator or freezer for longer storage.

Your homemade Red Raspberry Jam is now ready to be enjoyed! Whether you’re having it for breakfast or using it in your favorite recipes, the bright flavor of fresh raspberries will surely delight your taste buds!
