What each ingredient does
- Raspberries
- Provide the main fruit flavour, colour, and pectin-bearing pulp that thickens the jam.
- Powdered loaf sugar
- Sweetens the jam and helps it set into a thick, spreadable texture.
The step that matters
Boiling while stirring constantly. Sugar and fruit can scorch on the bottom of the pan if not stirred. Boiling long enough concentrates the sugar and pectin so the jam sets properly as it cools.
