What each ingredient does

Raspberries
Provide the fruit pulp that gives the marmalade its flavour and body.
Sugar
Sweetens the marmalade and helps it thicken and set as it cooks.

The step that matters

Reducing the pulp to half. Cooking the pulp down concentrates its flavour and removes water, so the mixture thickens properly once sugar is added. Stirring keeps it from scorching on the bottom of the pan.
