As requested, found this one in Country Woman Magazine, by Elizabeth Baker. I haven't tried this one yet, but it sounds interesting. You could substitute strawberry gelatin for raspberry.

Tips:

  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Use a large pot for cooking the jam so that it has plenty of room to bubble and thicken.
  • Stir the jam frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature of the jam; it should reach 220 degrees Fahrenheit (104 degrees Celsius) before removing it from the heat.
  • Allow the jam to cool completely before storing it in jars. This will help to prevent the jam from becoming runny.

Conclusion:

Surprise Raspberry Jam is a delicious and easy-to-make jam that is perfect for spreading on toast, biscuits, or muffins. It is also a great way to use up extra raspberries. With its vibrant red color and sweet-tart flavor, this jam is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
