Raspberry Jam

(Ahududu Receli)

Raspberry Jam
500 gr Raspberries
400 gr sugar*
2 tbsp lemon juice

Layer the raspberries and sugar in a saucepan overnight. The following morning, mash the berries. First, bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to the low. Skim off foam occasionally with the wooden spoon.

Test the jam by dabbing a little on one of the cold plate. Wait for a few seconds, then push the jam with your fingertip. If it wrinkles, it is done:) If not, cook for 2-3 more minutes. Add the lemon juice boil for about 2-3 more minutes.

Remove the sauce pan from the heat and cool for a few seconds. Pour carefully into canning jars and seal. Store in a dark and cool place.

Place some Raspberry Jam on the thin crackers and sprinkle few sliced almonds over the tops:)

*I like the sourness of Raspberry Jam but if you don't, you can cook it with 500 gr sugar instead of 400 gr of sugar.

This is making my mouth water! Now I'm looking forward to warm weather. Raspberries, strawberries and blueberries all mean "summer" to me :)

Thank you for this recipe!

Hi,
Yes, you can. Frozen raspberries would leave more water than fresh ones so it is better to keep the raspberries and sugar in the saucepan for about 4-5 hours instead of overnight:)
