Quick Fresh Raspberry Preserves
You can use fresh or unsweetened frozen berries for this. I like to freeze local berries in small, measured quantities when they are in season. They taste so amazing in mid-winter!

Ingredients
- 2cups fresh or frozen, thawed raspberries
- 1/2package freezer jam pectinI used Bernardin Freezer Jam Pectin.
- 1/2cup sugar
Instructions
- Have a clean jam jar ready.
- Take 2 cups of fresh or defrosted frozen berries and mash them with a potato masher. This usually makes approximately a cup and a half of pulp.
- Using a freezer jam pectin, (I used Bernardin Freezer Jam Pectin) mix 1/2 of the package of pectin powder with 1/2 cup of sugar.
- Stir the powder and sugar mixture into your mashed berries for a few minutes. Let the jam sit for about 30 minutes to set. It makes a soft preserve that becomes firmer in the fridge. You’ll love the freshness! Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
The jam will keep well in the fridge for two or three weeks,or freeze it for future jam needs!
