Homemade Raspberry Jam

One of my favourite jams
is Raspberry. 
This is a small batch 
and easy to make.



Ingredients:

4 cups raspberries
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice

This recipe yields 3 1/2  jars



Rinse the raspberries in cold water, 
(do not soak)

Place the raspberries, sugar and 
lemon juice in a large pot.

With a potato masher, mash all together.

Bring to a boil and cook on low heat for 12-15 minutes.
Do not boil longer or the jam will be too thick.

The jam will look thin, 
it thickens as it cools. 

Taste the jam and adjust
the sugar to your liking.

Ladel into jars.
I made 3 1/2  jars with this recipe.
