.raspberry jam.

after heading upstate to pick raspberries and apples I felt some serious jam making was in order.

I found this great recipe and it really was easy peasy.

 Place berries in a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Bring to a full boil over high heat, mashing berries with a potato masher as they heat. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

 Place sugar in an ovenproof shallow pan and warm in a 250°F (120°C) oven for 15 minutes. (Warm sugar dissolves better.)

 Add warm sugar, return to a boil, and boil until mixture will form a gel (see tips, below), about 5 minutes.

  Ladle into sterilized jars 

 enjoy!!!!!
