My homemade freezer jam!

It's yummy!

I love this easy and quick recipe that doesn't require many ingredients. I love to make this jam from the raspberries I grow in the yard. 

Super yummy!  -Annette

Ingredients

16 ounces raspberries

½ cup granulated sugar, or more to taste

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon cornstarch, more as needed

Instructions

In a saucepan over medium heat, add raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir until sugar has dissolved. 

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Gently mash any large pieces with your spoon as you stir. The mixture should thickly coat the back of a spoon (and will continue to thicken as it cools).

Jam not thickening? Make a slurry of 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and water, then slowly add to your jam while stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly in the pan. Transfer to jars and allow to cool completely before adding lids. Store for up to 1 year in freezer, or up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator.
