I was experimenting with making jam without pectin and it turned out really yummy. You need to cook the raspberries for a pretty long time until they fall apart.

Time 9h

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound fresh raspberries
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan and mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Inspect 3 jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Slowly bring raspberry mixture to a boil and simmer uncovered over medium heat until the mixture is no longer liquid, 40 minutes to 1 hour. Stir every few minutes and skim off any foam with a ladle or a large spoon.
  • Ladle raspberry jam immediately into the prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any spills. Top with lids and tightly screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Let rest for 24 hours without moving the jars. Gently press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

This is another 'lucky' situation when things turn for better. While making my raspberry jam, I totally forgot to add pectin. The result: exactly the same that if I did add some. Easier, simpler, and less risky than adding pectin to it.

Yield Makes 4 cups (1 L)

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 cups (1 liter) granulated sugar
4 cups (1 liter) raspberries

Steps:

  • 1. Place sugar in an ovenproof shallow pan and warm in a 250°F (120°C) oven for 15 minutes. (Warm sugar dissolves better.)
  • 2. Place berries in a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Bring to a full boil over high heat, mashing berries with a potato masher as they heat. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • 3. Add warm sugar, return to a boil, and boil until mixture will form a gel (see tips, below), about 5 minutes.
  • 4. Ladle into sterilized jars and process as directed for Shorter Time Processing Procedure .
  • Tip: To make a small boiling-water canner, tie several screw bands together with string or use a small round cake rack in the bottom of a large covered Dutch oven. Be sure the pan is high enough for 2 inches (5 cm) of water to cover the jars when they are sitting on the rack.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh raspberries. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your jam.
  • Use a large pot or saucepan. The jam will expand as it cooks, so you need a pot that is large enough to accommodate it.
  • Stir the jam frequently. This will prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature of the jam. The jam is ready when it reaches 220 degrees Fahrenheit (104 degrees Celsius).
  • Let the jam cool slightly before canning it. This will prevent the jars from cracking.

Conclusion:

Making raspberry jam without pectin is a relatively simple process, but it does require some time and attention. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your jam turns out delicious and flavorful. Remember, the key to making great jam is to use fresh, ripe fruit and to follow the recipe carefully. With a little patience, you'll be able to enjoy homemade raspberry jam all year long!
