Raspberries, Whole, Wet
Ingredients
Directions
Prick large, dry raspberries with a large pin and cover the bottom of a sieve with them.
In a preserving pan, boil the syrup for 10 minutes.
Add the raspberries to the syrup and let them boil, skimming off any foam with white brown paper.
Boil for 10 to 12 times, ensuring the pots are completely dry before adding the raspberries.
The next day, cover the raspberries with apple jelly and let them sit in the pots for two days before sealing.
