What each ingredient does

Raspberries
Provide the main fruit flavour and bulk of the jam.
Red currant juice
Adds liquid and tart acidity that balances the sweetness of the raspberries.

The step that matters

Stirring until it boils. Stirring constantly keeps the fruit from scorching on the bottom of the pot as it heats, which would give the jam a burnt flavour.
