Equipment

  • glass or plastic jars with lids
  • Large Bowl
  • small saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups fresh raspberries fresh and ripe
  • 5 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 box Sure Jell Fruit Pectin found at your local grocery store, walmart, or online
  • 3/4 cup water

Instructions
 

  • Use firm, ripe berries for the best flavor and set. (You don't want to use overripe berries or the jam may be too soft and runny.)
  • Wash and rinse glass or plastic containers. How many you use depends on how big they are. This recipe makes about 7-8 cups of jam.
  • Add berries to a large bowl and lightly mash them. Be careful not to over mash them---hey should still look fairly chunky, but not like whole berries.
  • Measure out exactly 3 cups of mashed berries and pour them into a separate large bowl.
  • Gradually stir in 1 cup of the sugar to the mashed berries, and stir until sugar is dissolved. Repeat, adding just one cup of sugar at a time and then mixing, until you use up the remaining 4 ¼ cups of sugar.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan, stir together pectin with ¾ cup water. Bring to a rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop when stirred) over medium-high heat, stirring often. Boil for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  • Stir pectin into the berries mixture. Continue stirring the mixture until sugar is completely dissolved and no longer grainy.
  • Pour jam into containers, leaving 1/2in of space at the top of the container, for expansion. Cover with lid and allow jam to rest at room temperature for 24 hours before freezing.
  • Jam will keep for up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator, or freeze for up to one year.
