What each ingredient does
- Raspberries
- Provide the fruit flavor and most of the body of the preserve.
- White sugar
- Sweetens the fruit and, as it cooks down, thickens the mixture so it can set and keep.
The step that matters
Boil without stirring. Leaving the pot alone lets the fruit hold its shape and lets the sugar syrup thicken evenly. Stirring can break the berries apart and slow the set.
