Ingredients
  

For the Jam
  • 4 cups black raspberries mashed, fresh or frozen
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Large saucepan

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large saucepan, combine the mashed black raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and salt.
  2. Step 2: Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Step 3: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Boil for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Step 4: To test for doneness, place a small amount of the jam on a cold plate and let it sit for a minute. Run your finger through it; if it holds its shape, it is ready.
  5. Step 5: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the jam to cool slightly.
  6. Step 6: Pour the jam into sterilized jars, leaving some space at the top. Seal the jars and let them cool completely at room temperature.
  7. Step 7: Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process in a water bath for longer shelf life.

Notes

Your delicious jam can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. If you want to keep it longer, consider processing it in a water bath for a shelf-stable option. Just make sure to follow proper canning guidelines!
