Raspberry Jam without Pectin

Description

This is another ‘lucky’ situation when things turn for better. While making my raspberry jam, I totally forgot to add pectin. The result: exactly the same that if I did add some. Easier, simpler, and less risky than adding pectin to it.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups mashed raspberries
  • 4 cups white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Bring raspberries to a boil in a very large pot. Cook for 4 minutes. Add sugar and lemon juice; stir well. Bring back to a boil
  2. stirring constantly. Cook for another 4 minutes.
  3. Remove pot from heat and divide jam into sterilized jars
  4. leaving 1/4-inch of space at the top.
  5. Seal and transfer jars into a boiling water bath. Make sure jars are covered with at least 1 inch of water; let sit for 5 minutes.
  6. Lift jars and let them cool in a draft-free place without touching
  7. 8 hours to overnight.
