Place the raspberries in a wide pot, add the sugar and dissolve over a medium heat.
Turn up the heat and boil for 5 mins, stirring often
Test by placing a tsp of the jam on a side plate. If it wrinkles once cooled, it is ready.
Remove from the heat and skim the surface
Pour into steralised jars
No need to warm jars in oven..just put tablespoon in jar and pour boiling water on..the spoon takes up the heat,so no cracked jars.been doing it for years.
I make mine using the microwave. Much cleaner, faster and less smells (although I do like the smell of jam brewing). Strawberry, Raspberry, Gooseberry, Redcurrent, Blackcurrent and best of all, Rhubarb Marmalade.
see if you can get hold of a WI jam making recipe book. It's VERY good. There's a good recipe for lemon curd in there.
