Ingredients

  • 2

    cups

    prepared fruit (buy about 2 pt. fully ripe red raspberries)

  • 4

    cups

    sugar, measured into separate bowl

  • 1

    pouch

    CERTO Fruit Pectin

  • 2

    tbsp

    fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Rinse clean plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly.

  2. Step 2

    Crush raspberries thoroughly, one layer at a time. (Press half of pulp through a sieve to remove some of the seeds, if desired.) Measure exactly 2 cups prepared fruit into large bowl. Stir in sugar. Let stand 10 min., stirring occasionally.

  3. Step 3

    Mix pectin and lemon juice. Add to raspberry mixture; stir 3 min. or until sugar is dissolved and no longer grainy. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)

  4. Step 4

    Fill all containers immediately to within 1/2 inch of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers; immediately cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. Jam is now ready to use. Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks or freeze extra containers up to 1 year. Thaw in refrigerator before using.
