How to Make Fresh Raspberry Jam

  1. Gently wash and stem 4 cups of fresh raspberries.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the raspberries with 3 cups of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of lemon juice.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-high and continue to stir frequently. Cook until the jam reaches 220-222°F (104-106°C) on a candy thermometer (firm-set stage). This may take 15-20 minutes, depending on your stove and the amount of pectin in your berries.
  5. Remove from heat and skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
  6. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
  7. Wipe the jar rims clean, place lids and rings on top, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on altitude).
  8. Remove jars and let cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Store in a cool, dark place and enjoy!
