What each ingredient does

Crushed raspberries
Provide the fruit flavour and bulk of the preserve.
Powdered sugar
Sweetens the fruit and helps preserve it by drawing out moisture.

The step that matters

Seal the bottles tightly. Sugar alone does not stop spoilage; an airtight seal keeps air and microbes out so the preserve can keep for a long time.
