How to make Raspberry Jam
Steps 1 & 2: Wash and combine
Wash your fresh raspberries. (Throw the bad ones away that you might have picked.)
Into a large bowl, add the raspberries and sugar.
Step 3: Mash
With a potato masher squish the raspberries, mixing them with the sugar. (I like to have some whole raspberries, so I smash a little and then just mix with a spoon.)
Step 4: Rest
Let it stand for 1 hour.
Step 5: Freeze
After an hour, pour into plastic containers, and put in the freezer. Then just defrost when you are ready to eat it.
Expert Tips:
- Use a ratio of 1 cup of raspberries to ½ cup of sugar. First, count how many cups of raspberries you have and then add in the sugar.
- Allow the raspberry jam to rest for an hour before freezing so the flavors meld together. This leaves time for multitasking, too.
- Store the jam in plastic containers. Freezing glass jars can cause them to explode.
Recipe FAQs:
No, we freeze the jam after the berries have been mashed. When we mash frozen and thawed berries, they release too much excess water.
Store the raspberry jam containers in the freezer. They last for up to a year in an airtight container!
Yes, you can make quick strawberry jam or blackberries for a tasty jam. Make sure the fruits are in season!
