LOL, I was thinking you’d found the best jam recipe somewhere else when I started to read your comment:-) Glad you like my recipe and that it’s close to your mum’s one. Our mum’s recipes are always the best:-)

Found the best jam recipe that is closest to my Mum’s ! She used less sugar than fruit but we could not remember the quantities. This has enough sweetness with the right amount of tartness, allowing the true fruit flavour to shine. I doubled the quantity and therefore, had to double the time boiling; result, perfect rasp jam !
Many thanks

To use Monk Fruit (which is 2x sweeter than cane sugar), you will need additional chia seeds or use ‘No Sugar pectin’, so the jam will help.

Hi Denise, the answer to that is in the FAQs: https://www.fabfood4all.co.uk/quick-easy-raspberry-jam-no-pectin/#h-frequently-asked-questions

Can you process your jam.

Thank you Anneli for your expertise. I really need to get my 2 canes out of their pots as they are very sad.

When you put hot jam into hot jars, as they cool a vacuum is produced which seals the jars. It’s the exact same science that causes the jars to seals when using a water bath canner, the sealing happens as the jars cool.

I don’t understand how you sealed your jars if not in a water bath?

Awesome Micaela, so very happy to hear that:-)

I made this jam a few days ago! First time ever making jam and it came out perfectly! Thank you 🙂 Definitely going to try some other jam recipes on here

Hi Micaela, the recipe clearly states to seal the jars with lids once filled. That’s all you need to do.

Hi!

What about sealing the jars afterwards?

Thanks, Yes I realised after the event that I shouldn’t have cut down all the shoots the year before last. Hence there was zero fruit last summer so I’m just hoping the plant recovers this summer.

Raspberry plants = cut down the old stems after picking all the raspberries. Leave the fresh new stems and give them a bit of a feed. In spring, feed again with whatever you have – tomato feed is fine. They should soon spread as they have shallow roots. In a drought, you’d need to water them sometimes.

Hi Kasi, I’m confused as to why you would want to freeze a jam that is shelf stable and waste your freezer space on it. I have never frozen jam but believe freezer jams are not made by the same method but I really don’t know much about them I’m afraid. But virtually any food will freeze, so yes, you could freeze this jam but I couldn’t tell you anymore than that I’m afraid.

Hi Cheryl, I’m afraid I know nothing about Monk Fruit and don’t eat any kind of sweeteners. I had a look and there are jams made with Monk Fruit which only keep for 2 weeks so perhaps you could get guidance from those and combine recipes.

I’m trying your recipe today. I am diabetic, and wondered if I could use monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar

That’s so lovely to hear Amber, my US audience has really grown in the last 12 months which is such a complement:-) Enjoy your jam! I hope you check out my other jams too down the line:-)

In reply to Camilla.

Thank you so much for this recipe! Our raspberries all seemed to ripen at once! I’m in US, and we use cups, so I had to dig out my old food scale… a remnant of an old diet… to follow it exactly, but I’m so glad I did!I had to cook for about 15 minutes total, but totally worth it. I love that it’s all natural!

Wonderful Anne and a great idea to do it that way!

I made this delicious jam yesterday with frozen raspberries. I reduced the quantity to 500 g fruit, 400 g sugar etc. I let the sugar dissolve slowly with the frozen raspberries and then proceeded with the recipe. I also added a little orange juice and zest with the lemon.

Thanks Adele, so glad you like the raspberry jam. I do have a search bar with a looking glass symbol where you can type in what you’re looking for. It’s under the hamburger menu on a mobile. Here are all my jams with blackberries: https://www.fabfood4all.co.uk/?s=blackberry+jam

Thank you so much for your feedback Laura. Very jealous of your fruit bushes, I have one raspberry bush which I’ve had a couple of years and yet to bear more than a few raspberries:-)

I’ve just made this jam with rescued raspberries reduced in store. Jam is absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. I will make more in the summer and will add blackberries too as we have 3 regular raspberry bushes growing in our garden, 1 golden raspberry bush and a big blackberry bush. Will he great for gifting.

Hi Michael, I’ve added that information to the post now, thanks for pointing out this omission:-) It’s best within first 12 months, see post for more info.

Aaw, that’s wonderful Tilly and thank you so much for taking the time out of your Christmas Day to leave such a lovely comment:-)

Making this on Christmas Day as emergency jam – we thought we had jam for the trifle and didn’t! Thank goodness for your recipe and a bag of frozen raspberries!

Awesome Jen, mixing in elderberries sounds like a fab idea! So very glad you like the recipe:-)

I made this for the first time back in July when my raspberry bush went nuts and we got 700g off in one picking. The taste is fantastic. We’ve just finished our last jar and I’m make another batch with elderberries mixed in for Christmas presents. So far, so good!

Hi Jackie, no problem, just proceed as if they are fresh raspberries as they’ll thaw as you gently heat to dissolve the sugar.

Thank you so much for taking the time out to let me know, so very glad you’ve caught the jam making bug. I have many, many recipes for you to expand your repertoire:-)

Wanted to log on and say thanks as it was my first time making jam, went really smoothly (I put in maybe a squeeze too much lemon-juice, was eye-balling it!), jam is delicious and makes me want to have another go. Thank you!

I’m very confused now Jean, did you use my recipe or was your comment meant for another recipe on another blog LOL?

Yay, so glad you like the recipe Misti, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment:-)

Hi Sharon, 1st question is, have you tried making my raspberry jam recipe as I can only answer questions about that. Once you have made my recipe and you have specific questions on it, then I can answer you. At the moment I’m not understanding.

Awesome Helen, wish my raspberry bush had produced some fruit this year so I could join you:-)

Awesome Soph, enjoy your wild raspberry jam:-)

Made with wild raspberries this evening. Made a really tiny batch with half a lemon and 200g raspberries, but it worked well.

Yay, so glad you like the recipe Les:-)

Couldn’t believe it. Recipe dead simple. Just pro rata’d the ingredients for my half kilo of raspberries and boiled for 9 minutes. Simples. Good set as well. Thanks
