Ingredients

4 1/2 cups fresh raspberries

Preparation

Place all ingredients in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. When mixture comes to a boil, raise heat to high and cook, stirring constantly, for about 20 minutes. As mixture begins to thicken, watch carefully to prevent sticking.

When mixture has reached a jam-like consistency, immediately remove from heat. Pour into hot sterilized jars and vacuum seal (hot water bath method, or can be refrigerated up to 6 weeks).

This recipe yields 4 half-pint jars.

Comments: The combination of the delicacy of fresh raspberries and the mellow framboise (raspberry brandy) makes a remarkable jam. Use both as a spread and as a dessert garnish.

Yield: 4 half-pints
