Seriously, this is the best raspberry jam in the world! Well, that’s our opinion anyway. It can’t be any easier to make, all you have to do is use the same amount of raspberries to sugar. So, if you don’t want to make as much as I have below, then just adjust the quantities of raspberries to sugar ratio.
You may be thinking that is a lot of sugar but, let’s face it basically, jam is just sugar anyway but ours is additive-free.
You can use frozen raspberries for this recipe or fresh, just note you will need to adjust the cooking time to allow for the raspberries being so cold if using frozen.
Use this jam in all sorts of recipes like our Old Time Raspberry Slice recipe.
TIP: – We used white sugar, but you could use raw or rapadura.

Instructions
Thermal Cooking Method
- First thing is to sterilise your jars. To sterilise your jars, wash jars in very hot, soapy water. Place jars on a flat baking tray into a cold oven. Turn oven to 50°C and allow jars to dry.
- Place raspberries and sugar into the mixing jug and cook for 20 minutes/steaming temp/speed 1.
- Blitz for 1 minute/speed 6, then pour immediately into warm, sterilised jars. Place lid on while hot as it will create a good seal.
- Store opened jars in the fridge. Unopened jars can store for up to 12 months in a cool, dark place like the bottom shelf of your pantry.

This is the easiest & best jam to make!!! It turns out perfectly every time! This is a regular in our house & we all love it! I often add chia seeds as well for something extra & it also works well.
