Ingredients

• 2 cups raspberries
• 2 medium apples
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the raspberries thoroughly under cold running water. Set aside to drain.

Step 2

Peel, core, and finely chop the apples into small pieces.

Step 3

In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples and water. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften.

Step 4

Add the raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and let it simmer.

Step 6

Mash the fruit with a potato masher or the back of a spoon to your desired texture. For smoother jam, use an immersion blender carefully during cooking.

Step 7

Simmer the mixture for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens. To test if the jam is ready, place a small amount on a cold plate. If it gels and wrinkles when pushed, it’s done.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool for a few minutes.

Step 9

Pour the jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Seal the jars tightly and allow them to cool to room temperature.

Step 10

Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process the jars in a water bath for longer shelf life.
