Ingredients for Raspberry Preserves

Method

Directions for Making Raspberry Preserves

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jars

    Sterilize your canning jars and lids by boiling them in water for 10 minutes. Keep them warm until ready to use.

  2. 2

    Mash the Raspberries

    In a large bowl, gently mash the raspberries with a potato masher or fork until they are well crushed.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the mashed raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Pectin

    Sprinkle the pectin over the raspberry mixture and stir until fully dissolved.

  5. 5

    Cook the Mixture

    Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Once boiling, boil for 1-2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Test for Doneness

    Perform the plate test: place a spoonful of the mixture on a cold plate. If it sets and holds its shape, it's ready for canning.

  7. 7

    Fill the Jars

    Ladle the hot raspberry preserves into the prepared jars, leaving a 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean and seal with the lids.

  8. 8

    Process the Jars

    Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper sealing.

  9. 9

    Cool and Store

    Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely on a clean towel. Once cooled, check the seals and store in a cool, dark place.
