What each ingredient does
- Raspberries
- Provide the fruit flavor, body and pectin-bearing pulp that thickens the preserve as it cooks.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the preserve and, by binding water, helps it set and keeps it stable.
The step that matters
Boil the mixture for twenty minutes, stirring occasionally. Sugar and fruit must cook long enough for the mixture to reach a thick, gel-like set. Stirring prevents scorching on the bottom of the pan, which would give a burnt taste.
