If you are looking for a berry that is totally the easiest berry to pick, will’ this is the one. My husband don’t like picking berries but when I say come with me and pick some raspberries he is the first in line. ? I can’t say enough good about picking any berry and/or growing them, shopping local for fresh fruit and vegetables. Cooking at home and making your own jams, jellies, soup and so much more……

When making raspberry jam keep in mind that you may need to boil the berry a little longer then some, they give off more liquid and you need to condense this and add equal amounts of sugar. These delicious berry comes from the same family as a blackberries or plum boys they look the same only a different colour.

      Hi Bonita. You commented on August 14, 2022 after your raspberry jam video, “I like to take the seeds out as well and bad for your teeth.”. I only saw how you removed the foam while they boiled. Is there a process to remove the seeds? I’m ready to try your recipe. Thanks.

        Hi Eric, Thank you for your message and for stopping by…I don’t like the seeds in the jam. I usually toss the liquid before it’s jam through a strainer thats got smaller holes. Use a spatular to run over the jam and help move the jam through the holes. I’m sure a cheese cloth may help too. I hope you get to make some. Enjoy 🙂 Bonita

      I’ve become your greatest fan. I’ve always picked my own berries & made jam. Growing up in NL, berry picking meant a picnic. Three years ago I opened a bnb & always leave a small jar of my raspberry jam or blackcurrant jelly. Last year – using your recipe – I made strawberry rhubarb jelly. For that recipe, you advised placing the sugar in a 170 degree oven for 20 mins before adding to the Jelly juice to speed up the thickening process. After years of making jelly, I was amazed at how quickly it set (I never use pectin or as much sugar as recipe suggests). Today I made a batch of raspberry jam with frozen berries and warmed the sugar in the oven. I was amazed by how quickly it was ready to be bottled – it’s almost too thick. You should add this tip to your other jam / jelly recipes.

        Hi Brenda: Thank you for your message, I’m so glad you made you made and enjoyed our recipe and method. Warming the sugar in the oven first is a amazing idea, I will add it into our recipes for everyone to enjoy. I haven’t told it on all the jam making shows but a few. Thank you for the reminding and for stopping by, have a wonderful day and Merry Christmas.
