OLD-FASHIONED RASPBERRY JAM
The intense raspberry flavor of this jam makes it a
longtime favorite. Warming the sugar beforehand keeps
the jam boiling evenly and ensures success.
4 cups (1 L) granulated sugar
4 cups (1 L) raspberries
1. Place sugar in an ovenproof shallow pan and warm in a
250°F (120°C) oven for 15 minutes. (Warm sugar dissolves
better.)
2. 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.
3. Add warm sugar, return to a boil, and boil until
mixture will form a gel (see tips, below), about 5
minutes.
4. Ladle into sterilized jars and process as directed
for Shorter Time Processing Procedure.
Tip: To make a small boiling-water canner, tie several
screw bands together with string or use a small round
cake rack in the bottom of a large covered Dutch oven.
Be sure the pan is high enough for 2 inches (5 cm) of
water to cover the jars when they are sitting on the
rack.
• To determine when the mixture will form a gel, use the
spoon test: Dip a cool metal spoon into the hot fruit.
Immediately lift it out and away from the steam and turn
it horizontally. At the beginning of the cooking
process, the liquid will drip off in light, syrupy
drops. Try again a minute or two later — the drops will
be heavier. The jam is done when the drops are very
thick and two run together before falling off the spoon.
• "The intensity of this jam is due to the fact that it
has no added fruit pectin," says Topp. Adding pectin
helps the jam gel, but necessitates more sugar, which
dilutes the natural flavor of the fruit. Making jam
without added pectin requires more careful cooking (see
notes about the spoon test, above), but the extra effort
pays off in a deliciously old-fashioned, fruity product.
Makes 4 cups (1 L).
