I'm kind of abnormal. I don't like raspberries. Maybe in another 30 years I'll like raspberries. They smell nice and fruity, but I just don't like the way they taste. I was the best raspberry picker when I was younger, because I didn't eat any. I just picked them.
I used this freezer jam pectin.
Here's how you make jam:
Step 1. Wash berries.
Step 2. Mash berries (I stick them in my kitchenaid with the wire whisk)
Step 3. Mix together sugar and pectin.
Step 4. Add pectin/sugar to the berries and mix for 3 minutes.
Step 5. Pour into containers and let set for 30 minutes.
Step 6. Freeze and enjoy!
I think I need to go buy more berries this week and make some more jam!
I think I ruined my daughter because I never fed her raspberries when she was little. Now she won't try them. My husband, however, does like raspberries. And so do my boys. Two years ago there was a screaming deal on raspberries at Sunflower Farmer's Market ($0.88 for a 6 ounce container!), so I made my first batches of raspberry freezer jam. However, the jam didn't last forever and raspberries didn't go on sale last summer, so I started buying the storebought jam again.
This week at Sunflower Farmer's Market, raspberries are on sale. So, I bought some and made jam over the weekend. I love how fast and easy it is. Seriously, it took me 30 minutes (at the most) to make 21 6-ounce containers of raspberries into jam.
