Ingredients
- 8 cups (40 oz/1136 grams) raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 3 cups (24 oz/680 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (2 fl oz/60 ml) lemon juice
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple, grated (about 5 oz/ 142 g)
Notes
- Buying jars and lids. Jam jars can be found in some grocery and hardware stores, or you can buy jam jars online. If you only need lids because, for some reason, like socks, they disappear in the wash, then you can buy just the lids.
- Stock up in-season. If you have access to berries or other fresh fruit while it's at its peak, buy as much ripe fruit as you can. Wash (and remove stems and pits), pack into freezer bags and freeze so that you have a supply for batches of jam all year round! Buying fruit in season is important because it has the best flavor and because in-season fruit is considerably less expensive. So take advantage!
- Use a high-pectin apple. When choosing an apple for this recipe, go with a tart variety (like Granny Smith) that is very firm or under-ripe for the highest levels of pectin.
- How to tell the doneness. You can test the thickness of jam by using a plate test: before cooking the fruit, place a small plate in the refrigerator. Once the jam is done cooking, turn off the heat and place a small spoonful of jam on the cold plate and return to the refrigerator. After 10 minutes, check the jam. If the jam wrinkles when touched, then it is ready. If the jam is loose and has spread, cook the jam a bit longer and repeat the test until done.
