What each ingredient does

Soft raspberries
Make up the fruit itself, supplying the flavor and the soft texture that remains after canning.

The step that matters

Processing the sealed cans. Holding the sealed cans at 212°F (100°C) for the full 23 minutes matters most. Heat must act long enough to destroy spoilage microbes; less time or heat can leave the fruit unsafe to store.
