👩‍🍳 Mary Berry Raspberry Jam Instructions

Place the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a canning jar or similar container.
Place pan over low heat and stir intermittently until all sugar crystals are dissolved. Typically, this can be determined by dragging a wooden spatula across the bottom of the pan.
Bring the saucepan to a rolling simmer for seven minutes.
Remove the pan from the stove and place a few drops of jam on a chilled saucer.
Place the saucer in the refrigerator for one minute.
If the jam wrinkles when you pass your finger through it, it is ready to be bottled.
If the marmalade is not ready, continue boiling for an additional 2 minutes and retest (mine took 9 minutes).
Using a small ladle, transfer the jam to sterile jars and seal promptly with lids – yields 2 jars (a total of 900 ml).
Once opened, store in a cold, dark location and refrigerate.

💭 Recipe Tips

If you want your Mary Berry raspberry jam to taste and feel its best, use fresh, ripe raspberries.
Be careful with how much sugar you add, because too much can make the raspberries taste too sweet.
Use a candy thermometer or the “wrinkle test” to make sure the jam hits the right gel point and doesn’t end up runny.
Don’t use other citrus drinks in place of lemon juice, because lemon juice gives the jam just the right amount of acidity.
Before you put jam in the jars, make sure they are clean and sterile so that the jam will last longer and not go bad.
