Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh red raspberries
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 2 oranges
- 1 lemon
Directions
- Rinse the raspberries thoroughly and discard any spoiled ones.
- Place the raspberries in a large saucepan and crush them using a potato masher or a fork.
- Add the sugar to the crushed raspberries and stir well to combine. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve.
- Meanwhile, wash the oranges and zest one of them. Set the zest aside.
- Cut both oranges in half and juice them. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp.
- Pour the orange juice into the saucepan with the raspberries and sugar mixture. Add the orange zest as well.
- Juice the lemon and add the lemon juice to the saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently.
- Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
- After 20 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the jam cool for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the jam into sterilized jars, leaving a quarter-inch headspace. Seal the jars tightly.
- Allow the jam to cool completely at room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator.
- The jam is ready to enjoy! Serve it on your favorite bread or dessert.
