Ingredients

4 cups smashed (fresh raspberries , use a potato masher to smash the raspberries)
4 cups sugar
¼ cup fresh lemon juice

Steps

Place berries in a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Bring to a full boil over high heat, stirring continuously. Boil hard for 1 minute, continuing to stir.
Add sugar, return to a boil, and boil until mixture reaches 220˚F on a candy or instant thermometer.
Add lemon juice and stir very well. Ladle into clean jars for storage in the freezer or into sterilized jars if processing with a water bath. Here is Epicurious’s method for water bath processing. If water-bath processed, this jam can be store at room temperature.
