What each ingredient does
- Raspberries
- Provide the main fruit flavor and most of the bulk of the jam.
- Currant jelly
- Adds pectin and acidity that help the jam thicken and set.
The step that matters
Boil slowly while stirring constantly. Fruit and sugar near the bottom of the pan can scorch quickly. Constant stirring spreads the heat evenly, and the jam sets only when cooked long enough to thicken as it cools.
