Raspberry jam, easy!


Long time no see,

but I came back with a small memory from summer:)
All kinds of berries have always been favorites to me...However they are not available all year long, unless you make them!
So I decided to preserve the taste of summer in a jar, for as long as it lasts..

Raspberry jam is very very easy!

What you need:

500gr raspberries 
500gr granulated sugar

(In general you need the same amount of raspberries and sugar)


1. Take a picture of the wonderful berries:)


2. Put the berries and the sugar in a pan. Stir over low heat until the sugar has melted (dissolved)

3. You see not ready yet..


4. When the sugar is melted, boil over high heat for 5-7 min, even 7-9 until the mixture 
reaches setting point. This depends on the fruit.


5. When thick as you like it, remove it from the heat. Pour into hot sterilized jars, seal and let cool.



6. Enjoy with fresh from the oven bread and butter for best results:)

From the heart, 
Anna
