This jam was a big hit with my family. It is easy to make and absolutely delicious! Warming the sugar beforehand keeps the jam boiling evenly also warm sugar dissolves better.
To determine when the mixture will form a gel: place a saucer into the freezer. When ready to test, remove the saucer and place a small amount of jam on the saucer. Run your finger through the jam, if it does not run together it is ready.
I found this recipe online at Epicurious.com
Ingredients
4 cups sugar
4 cups raspberries
Directions
Place sugar in an ovenproof shallow pan and warm in a 250 degree oven for 15 minutes.
Place berries in a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Bring to a full boil over high heat, mashing berries with a potato masher as they heat. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add warm sugar, return to a boil, and boil softly stirring frequently until mixture will form a gel. Be careful not to burn the mixture, and monitor closely.
Ladle into sterilized jars and put the lids on.
