Make a small batch of fresh raspberry jam quickly using only three ingredients. This refrigerator jam sets fast and requires no canning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Place the raspberries in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the sugar and lemon juice to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
  3. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for another 5 to 7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. It will thicken more as it cools.
  4. Remove the jam from the heat. Skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
  5. Pour the hot jam into a clean, small jar or container. Let it cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate.
  6. The jam is ready to use once fully chilled, usually after 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • This jam is best eaten within two weeks when stored in the refrigerator.
  • For a smoother jam, press the cooked mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before cooling to remove seeds.
  • If you prefer a sweeter jam, add sugar one teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired taste.
