Ingredients:

  • 4 cups Columbia Fruit frozen Raspberries
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation:

  • Place the berries in a large saucepan over high heat, mashing them roughly with a sturdy wooden spoon or potato masher as they begin to warm.
  • Add the sugar and lemon juice, stirring roughly to incorporate while continuing to break down the fruit.
  • Bring to a full rolling boil and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • When the jam is ready, it should reach about 220°F (104°C) on a candy thermometer or use the old-fashioned “spoon test”: dip a cold metal spoon into the hot jam.
  • Immediately lift it out and away from the steam and turn it horizontally.
  • At the beginning of the cooking process, the liquid will drip off like a light syrup.
  • The jam is done when the drops are very thick and run together before falling off the spoon.
  • Stir in the vanilla, ladle into glass jars, and seal immediately.
  • Let cool completely before using.
