What each ingredient does
- Raspberries
- Provide the fruit flavor, color, and the body that the preserves are built from.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the fruit and helps thicken the mixture as it cooks down.
The step that matters
Cooking until thickened. Sugar and fruit pectin set as the liquid evaporates and the mixture concentrates. Stopping too early leaves a runny preserve, while cooking too long can make it stiff and overly sweet.
