Sarah's Raspberry Jam - Everyday Food with Sarah Carey

Have I told you I'm a bit of a summer produce addict? I can never get enough of the outrageous flavors that arrive at the market this time of year! One of my favorite ways to hold on to the season's freshest fruit is by making jam -- and it's easier than it sounds! Today, I chose raspberries, but my method will work with most fruits. Savor the remaining days of summer and make some jam today!
Sarah's Tip of the Day:
Once your fruit reaches a rolling boil, it will still require about 10 more minutes of cooking time (if you remove it from the heat too quickly, it may be too watery). For more tips on canning visit www.freshpreserving.com.

YIELD: Makes about 4 cups
INGREDIENTS:
3 pounds fresh berries 4 1/12 cups sugar 4 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice (from 1/2 of a lemon) Pinch of coarse salt
DIRECTIONS
STEP 1
Place a few small plates in the freezer. Stir berries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a large, heavy stockpot. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar and mashing lightly with a potato masher. Skim foam from surface. Cook, stirring more frequently as jam thickens, until it has the consistency of very loose jelly, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat.
STEP 2
Remove a plate from freezer; drop a spoonful of jam on it. Return to freezer for 1 to 2 minutes; nudge edge of jam with a finger. It should hold its shape. If jam is too thin and spreads, return it to a boil, testing every minute, until done.
STEP 3
Strain about half of the jam; discard seeds. Return strained jam to pot; stir in remaining teaspoon zest. Return to a boil. Remove from heat. Spoon hot jam into hot sterilized jars; cover immediately with sterilized lids.

Making Raspberry Jam with a white shirt on !!?! You're so brave !

[@catlady8324]

If that's "such a small batch" of Jam, I can't imagine what a big batch would look like!!! For all that sugar this gal is in great shape! Well done sister. Great video instructions too. Thx.

[@eliahgolan4768]

OMG!! Sarah, I'v seen the recipe two months ago, I made it and it was the best jam I have ever made. Thank you sarah, for all the great recipes!

[@OfficialJessicaSutta]

Thank you for all the channels that made jam! Now Jimin can enjoy his jams. ❤️

[@xjustchillx9665]

....whenever I go to a strawberry jam video, all i see is about jimin's lost jams lmao 😂

[@hobi.mine.sunshine312]

Jimin you got no jams😂

[@conishkee]

11/19/23: Thank you for a fantastic demo on how to make this jam. I'm getting ready to make it in a few and am excited to see how it turns out. 😋

[@sarahcarey984]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you found our youtube channel. i let you know about the interning! xs

[@benfranks3015]

It’s okay from the store but it’s amazingggg when it’s homemade

[@amstudioprojects]

Great recipe and method!

[@8ftbed]

My first jam was rhubarb. For that and others, everyone is always adding water. I found I can mix the rhubarb (berries, apples, pears...) with the sugar and just let it sit. Do it the night before and let it sit in the fridge or just let it sit on the counter for a couple of hours. The sugar juices the fruit and you have more than enough liquid.

[@1RexRacer1]

Thanks, best explained jam video I have seen so far.

[@ryanhuntington9852]

OMG... Sarah... I just love your videos. My Husband and I are hooked!!!

[@melindaj6870]

[@lacarru6390]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Making jam is one of my passions. You should see my freezer right now! Totally full of jam.xs

[@wonderfullymade8309]

Hey Sarah! I love watching all your videos. It makes me so happy to cook! Is there a way I can make jams sugar free? My hubby is a type 2 diabetic and he REALLY misses a good jam. Any help would be awesome! Thank you!!

[@cuddlesrox77]

Is the jam for Jimin?

[@evelynjepson5955]

I bought a Ball Freshtech Jam and Jelly Maker a few years back have been making my own jam in 20 minutes top...I will use your recipes, but the method is my own.

[@shalimar7517]

I made Fig jam and Strawberry jam and it's absolutely delicious

[@nikkyjordan4345]

What do I do? I don't have any jams

[@youhoe7988]

Ask Rapmon. I heard he stole Jimin's jams

[@nikkyjordan4345]

Ya, but he stole cool jams. I don't even have hot jams. I have a room temperature jar.

[@rias1038]

I never would have expected bts in the comments :P

[@hobi.mine.sunshine312]

We ARMYS are everywhere :D

[@carolb3122]

In my Ball Jam and Jelly maker, they suggest to add a teaspoon of butter to cut down on the foam. I use the frozen spoon to test doneness that I learned on another You Tube video. I started jam making and water bath canning last year at the age of 71. My mother never canned, but her mother did. After my grandparents passed away there were still canned goods in the basement from their garden.

[@MrPetfre]

Amazing

[@chillytay6008]

I really want to apologize on the behalf of this fandom But I cant

[@bravestchicken3528]

Lol, I was like, wat u mean? And then i scrolled down into the comments

[@OB17358]

1 c raspberries, 1 to 1 1/2 tbsp sugar, pinch of salt, juice of 1/2 lemon. Makes 1 pint.

[@JustinSeagullTheLazyChannel]

I am so proud of this fandom lmao

[@jeonjungook3990]

I am...absolutely PROUD Of this fandom 😂😂😭

[@bigpardner]

No complaints on the seeds? My very limited experience so far is with my own Royalty Purple raspberries, and after I go through the routine of straining out the seeds the product is sort of a jam/jelly. When I made blackberry jam the seeds weren't too troublesome but these raspberry seeds are too much for me. I don't know if different raspberry varieties vary much as far as the size and hardness of the seeds.

[@rimabohsali6276]

this is the best recipe I tried it and it lasted for 2 years.

[@andreaemerson6807]

Awesome

[@Levy122]

Good stuff

[@debralynnbailey6527]

Thank you I was wondering how to take the seeds out 💗

[@etamommy]

Also an electric raspberry seed tweezer from sharper image is effective though, yeah a bit pricey and specific to be sure.

[@sarahcarey984]

Yes. I make strawberry jam in a similar method. Just DO NOT double recipe, strawberries are quite low in their own natural pectin, so too big a recipe could cause problems (not set). I have never pureed the fruit for strawberry or raspberry, but i have for peach and it works fine, so I'm sure you can do it here too. xs

[@NMWillette]

If I were to swap raspberries for strawberries, would I need to use pectin? Also, I'm not a big fan of pieces in my jam, so would it be alright to puree the berries first? Thank you Sarah!

[@user-ue1il6cx3v]

Could I substitute the pectin for gelatin. I know that the two are completely different. I just have a ton of unflavored gelatin that was given to me and nothing really to use it for or any recipes to use it in. If so would I use more or less gelatin than the pectin.

[@user-bh5qg1xm3x]

If I don't want to add Sugar, how long should I expect the jam to last in refrigerator?

[@barboratrckova2922]

If you want to have your jam healthier, you can use coconut sugar :)

[@sarahcarey984]

well, i should say only a few weeks (as recommended by the USDA), but i often keep jam in my fridge for up to 3 months without issues. Just check to make sure there is no mold and you should be ok.

[@ameia9335]

White shirt...daring!

[@sarahcarey984]

yes. same amounts.

[@ValorConsulting1]

Yeah, me too.

[@markbaranda5422]

i like your video so much...but i do live here in the philippines and we rarely have opportunities to buy berries..but we do have a lot of tropical fruits. like mangoes, pineapple, jackfruit...will this do the same way for our available fruits?

[@balagtas1020]

Rona Jean R. Baranda my grandma makes gauva jam. I forgot the Tagalog of guava

[@mikemillie3826]

Do I have to put a lot of sugars in jams if I’m diabetic

[@danielapemcova345]

how long do you soak the lids in hot water? 10 min???

[@ashlynx9457]

for a next recipe please make suga-jam kookies that go well with tae? we would all really appreciate it

[@nancywillette8762]

Made this jam and filled jelly jars but did not water bath. Put cold jars in freezer. Anyone know how long the jam will last in the refrigerator once opened?

Ooohh! Jammin'! I like jammin' witchu!

[@RachelS84]

Could you make this without sugar?

[@gstfrr2]

Can I use frozen raspberries?

[@sarahcarey984]

You can freeze it (for up to a year), refrigerate (for a month) or water bath can. sorry if it was confusing, i was just trying to give options!xs

[@sheilabartolac225]

If my lids seal without a water bath can they still be put in the freezer for the same length of time?

Can I use lime instead ?

Hi, i made a ten kg of strawberry jam. It's color was beautiful red after cooking but almost one month later its color changed and the taste slightly changed. I kept the jars out of the fridge, was it the reason? What should i do.?

[@fuji73p]

Canned jam/jelly is always a beautiful bright color of red but fades to a darker color quickly. Freezer jam retains this bright color and actually a more fresher taste because it’s not cooked. Even if you it were to store your canned jam in the fridge the color will eventually change

[@ghadeerhasan1883]
