Ingredients

  • 340 g raspberries
  • 150 g sugar
  • 15 ml lemon juice

Instructions

  • Wash the raspberries and drain.
  • Put all of the ingredients in a small-medium, wide pot/saucepan and place over a medium heat. Stir as it heats to dissolve the sugar, but try to avoid splashing the sugar up the side of the pot - if sugar sticks to the side, scrape it down.
  • Bring the jam to a simmer, reduce the heat a little and simmer for approximately 15 minutes (or longer, as needed), stirring occasionally. Once the fruit softens, press or stir to break it up. Continue to cook a couple minutes so that the jam becomes a little darker in color and thicker - when you stir a spatula through, it will take longer to close in behind.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, allow to cool a minute or two. Transfer to your prepared clean jar(s) and put lid on while still hot. Leave to cool.
