Fresh Raspberry Jam

$4.16 total / $0.60 per cup
(this is the price from my garden; I will update once I find out the seasonal price for raspberries in the store)



Fresh Raspberry Jam (yields 7 cups of jam)

3 cups crushed fresh raspberries (or blackberries)
5 1/4 cups sugar
Juice from 1/2 lemon
3/4 cup water
1 pkg Sure-Jell Fruit Pectin



Measure 3 cups of crushed berries. Mix in sugar and let sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Squeeze in lemon juice.



Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring water and Sure-Jell to boil. Boil for 1 minute. Add to the fruit mixture and stir for 3 minutes.

Fill 1 cup containers within 1/2-inch from top. Seal and leave at room temperature for 24 hours. Store in freezer until ready to use. Refrigerate after opening.
