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.

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!

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.

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 made this jam today and I am so impressed with the set. I have always in the past, used less sugar-pectin recipes and since I can no longer buy this product, I decided to try your recipe. Since I didnt have any unsweetened juice, I just used sugar. 5 1/2 c. raspberries, 5 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice and 3 1/2 c. sugar. It turned out a perfect set and just the right sweetness. In fact next time I’ll try even less sugar.

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.

And that is each and every time I make jam no matter what method in the end the jam is a mushy tart item. And my berries are sweet right off the bush but making jam even adding all that sugar the jam is still tart. Do you have an. Newer to this? Ihave yet to find a recipe that also will turn the jam into a dark ness. And not thick like jam. I have contacted several companies about this and received no replies. So now it is your turn

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

Hi there, I’ve never doubled this recipe but I know when readers have mentioned doubling my jam recipes then the time to reach setting point can take an awfully long time, maybe more than double? The volume of jam is in the recipe, which is 900 ml in total. If you do make more than the this recipe states then I’d advise you to use a digital thermometer so that you know when setting point is reached (around 104 – 105.5C). On a quick Google search the largest volume of raspberries used in a jam recipe that I can see is 1 Kg so perhaps that’s the optimum figure!

Hi Ann, yes you can but it wouldn’t be my choice as I wouldn’t want the chemical preserver used in the commercial lemon juice in my all natural jam. But that’s totally your call:-)

Used this recipe and tweaked it slightly.
I made a very small batch,
200g raspberries,
150g sugar
zest and juice of 1 lime.
It was amazing, thanks for the inspiration.

I am a Foods teacher so we would often get donations from local grocers of organic produce that had passed its Best Buy date, so I got cases of semi moldy raspberries, would pick through and discard the moldy ones, and make the rest into jam on the spot. I will say, I never sterilize my jars, which are all multi-use. They are cleaned in a good dishwasher which is so old I can’t turn off the last 30 minute drying cycle so if I miss it, they get dried and hot. [I never put a lid back on until both the lid and the jar are bone dry, and then I seal and store them. Jars with compromised lids get recycled, but I get years out of most of them.] Then I just pour in the boiling jam. Bacteria and mold cannot survive at these temperatures, [spores cannot be killed by heat or cold or time…], so when the jam hits the glass jar, it sterizles it for you. Then, I tip the jars over, immediately, and it sterilizes the lids. I let them dry upside down. My grandmother used to religiously pour wax on top of all her jams, but when the wax cooled there was always a gap between it and the edge of the jar, so a complete waste of time. I’ve never had a spoiled jar doing it this way.

Helen, I’m just about to make this as I have loads of raspberries in freezer.

Regardng the sugar though jam does have loads and it’s to preserve it mainly, reduced sugar jam wouldn’t keep as well as the full sugar version, prone to mould easily. I make some reduced sugar things like mincemeat and I keep them frozen and just thaw as needed. Just an fyi 🙂

Hi, I’m so glad I came across this site for my first making of jam Ever!
My jam came out perfectly first time, I did cut down on the amount of sugar I put in, was gobsmacked at how much is used in jam. I’ve just made a bigger batch from frozen raspberries this time. Cook time took longer, I guess because of the extra water content. Hopefully will be ok. Thanks
