Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh raspberries
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Instant pectin
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash and gently pat dry the fresh raspberries. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Using a potato masher or fork, crush the raspberries to your desired consistency. For a chunkier jam, leave some raspberry pieces intact. For a smoother texture, mash thoroughly.
Step 3
Add granulated sugar to the crushed raspberries. Stir well until the sugar begins to dissolve.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, whisk the instant pectin with the lemon juice until fully combined.
Step 5
Add the pectin and lemon juice mixture to the raspberries and sugar. Stir for 3-5 minutes to ensure everything is evenly mixed and the pectin is fully incorporated.
Step 6
Let the jam mixture sit for 10 minutes to thicken slightly, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
Transfer the jam into clean, freezer-safe containers leaving about 1/2-inch of space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
Step 8
Seal the containers tightly with lids. Let the jam sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours to set.
Step 9
Store the finished jam in the freezer for up to 12 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before use and enjoy within 3 weeks once opened.
