Step-by-step Guide

Preparation

  • Mix the raspberries with the sugar in a large bowl and let it macerate at room temperature for 3 hours so the raspberries release their natural juices.
  • Pour the contents of the bowl into a saucepan and add the lemon juice. Stir well to ensure the lemon juice is evenly distributed.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat for 5 minutes, occasionally stirring to prevent sticking.
  • Strain the contents using a fine sieve, reserving the berries in a clean bowl.
  • Return the strained liquid to the saucepan and bring to a boil again over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the reserved blackberries and bring everything to a boil over medium heat for another 5 minutes, stirring to prevent burning.
  • Strain the contents again, separating the blackberries and resting them in a clean container.
  • Return the strained liquid to the pot and repeat the process, boiling over medium heat for another 5 minutes, constantly monitoring.
  • Add the blackberries for the last time and let the mixture boil for 5 minutes, ensuring the flavors blend completely.
  • Remove any foam that may form on the surface with a skimmer to achieve a clean texture.
  • Fill the jars with the hot mixture, leaving a small margin at the top.
  • Have some sterilized jars and lids ready, and once the jars are full, place them upside down to create a vacuum, as we are making a few and this technique is appropriate.
Recommendations & Tricks
  • When preparing raspberries, make sure to rinse them gently under cold water and carefully dry them with a kitchen cloth to prevent them from becoming a watery mass.
  • Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the jam reaches a temperature of about 105°C, which is when the sugar and raspberries have achieved the ideal gelling point.
  • To better preserve the jam, package it in sterilized glass jars and seal them tightly while still hot; this will create a vacuum that will extend its shelf life.
