Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh raspberries
- 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine: In a pot, mix raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Let sit for 30 minutes to macerate.
- Cook: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the jam reaches 220°F (105°C), skimming foam as necessary.
- Test: Place a small spoonful of jam onto a chilled plate. Run your finger through it – if it wrinkles and holds its shape, the jam is done.
- Finish: Stir in vanilla extract and remove the pot from heat. Transfer the jam to sterilized jars and let cool before refrigerating.
- Optional: For longer shelf life, you can follow proper canning guidelines to preserve the jam.
Notes
- Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
- For a smoother jam, you can blend the raspberries before cooking.
