Raspberries were just on sale. I just bought a dozen pint jars for canning, along with the canning starter kit, pectin, and a pressure cooker. I figured why not take advantage of all of those? So I bought 6 packs of raspberries and made a dozen jars of jam. Here is what I did:
Start with 3 packs (4 cups) of raspberries.
Add an equal amount of sugar. (4 cups)
Put in a pot.
This is the point I put the jars and lids into an inch or two of boiling water for 10 minutes to sterilize.
Mash until it's evenly liquid. Then heat until it reaches a consistent 219 degrees F.
Take sterilized jars from water, set on a towel and dab dry.
Pour into jars with a ladle and canning funnel, making sure to leave about an inch from the top.
Place filled and closed jars into a hot water bath. Make sure the water is about an inch over the lids.
Boil at a medium boil for 10 minutes.
After they boil, place onto a towel to drip dry, then let cool for 24 hours. You can label them however you wish...mine are crooked lol.
Here are half of mine from tonight! They are much darker in the picture.
