The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

Prepare

Place raspberries on a flat dish.
Crush the sugar and place it on a separate flat dish.
Heat both dishes in a 350°F (175°C) oven until thoroughly hot.

Combine and store

Mix the raspberries and sugar together.
Transfer the mixture into bottles and seal with corks or paper.
Store in a dark place.
