Raspberry jam is a delicious and versatile spread that can be enjoyed on a variety of items, from toast to scones. What many people don't know is that this jam can be made without pectin.

4 cups fresh raspberries, washed and dried
2 cups sugar
Combine 3 cups of the raspberries and the sugar in a bowl and let sit for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
Place the mixture into a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil. Skim off the foam. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Skim off the foam as needed.
Stir in the remaining raspberries and let simmer for 2 minutes or until the berries begin to break apart. Remove the pan from the heat and let the jam cool completely. Pour the mixture into jars or containers and refrigerate overnight or until chilled.
Store the jam in the refrigerator.

Raspberries coming in thick this year...cut them down 2 yrs ago and treated with wood ash. Can only eat so many...this jam is an easy way to convert fresh berries to preserve them. Next, raspberry wine?
