Ingredients
- 1 1/3 c prepared fruit (about 1 pint fresh raspberries)
- 1/3 c water
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Low Sugar Pectin
- 1/2 c up to 1/2 c. sugar You can use 0 to 1/2 cup, of added sugar.
Instructions
- Prepare jars. Wash in hot soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Place directly in water bath canning pot. Cover clean jars with water about 2 inches above jars. UPDATE: Jars do not have sterilized anymore for this recipe. They should just be hot.
- Place washed lids in a small saucepan and cover with boiling water. Let sit until ready to use. I also add my ladle and funnel to this pot to sterilize them. Sort, and rinse raspberries. Crush with potato masher. Add to 8 qt. sauce pan. Add water.
- Measure sugar and pectin. Add a few tablespoons of sugar to pectin.
- Bring raspberries to a boil and add pectin/ sugar mixture. Again bring to full boil (one that can’t be stirred down).
- Add the rest of sugar all at once. Bring to a full boil and boil for 1 full minute.
- Fill jars with hot jam.
- Wipe rim of jars with clean, wet paper towel and place lid on. Add band and tighten to fingertip tight.
- Place filled jars into canning pot and bring to boil. Low boil for 10 minutes.
- Turn off heat and allow to sit in water for 5 minutes.
- Check lids by pushing down in center. If lids flex up and down, the jar is not sealed and should be refrigerated.
- Jars that have sealed should be stored in a cool place for a year. (If it lasts that long!)
- This recipe makes 2 half pint jars jam.

Notes
- Recipe adapted from Ball Recipes
- See post for additional information regarding preparing raspberries and preparing canning supplies.
- When canning, always use a wooden spoon rather than a metal spoon .
- Makes 2 half pints.
- Recipe can be multiplied, but don't do more than 5 times the recipe. The jam has a tendency not to set properly.
- Test lids for seal. Press center of lid down in the middle. If it flexes up and down, jar is not sealed.
- If lids have not sealed, store those jars in refrigerator and consume those jars first.
- Store in a cool place.
- This recipe uses less sugar than traditional jams. Use up to 1/2 cup sugar. I usually use over 1/4 cup but under 1/2 cup of sugar.
- Note: Adding no sugar will decrease the yield.
- Lemon juice is not required because raspberries are acidic enough.
- See our article Canning for beginners- Step by Step.
