Have I told you I'm a bit of a summer produce addict? I can never get enough of the outrageous flavors that arrive at the market this time of year! One of my favorite ways to hold on to the season's freshest fruit is by making jam -- and it's easier than it sounds! Today, I chose raspberries, but my method will work with most fruits. Savor the remaining days of summer and make some jam today!

Sarah's Tip of the Day:
Once your fruit reaches a rolling boil, it will still require about 10 more minutes of cooking time (if you remove it from the heat too quickly, it may be too watery). For more tips on canning visit www.freshpreserving.com.

YIELD: Makes about 4 cups

INGREDIENTS:
3 pounds fresh berries 4 1/12 cups sugar 4 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice (from 1/2 of a lemon) Pinch of coarse salt

DIRECTIONS
STEP 1
Place a few small plates in the freezer. Stir berries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a large, heavy stockpot. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar and mashing lightly with a potato masher. Skim foam from surface. Cook, stirring more frequently as jam thickens, until it has the consistency of very loose jelly, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat.

STEP 2
Remove a plate from freezer; drop a spoonful of jam on it. Return to freezer for 1 to 2 minutes; nudge edge of jam with a finger. It should hold its shape. If jam is too thin and spreads, return it to a boil, testing every minute, until done.

STEP 3
Strain about half of the jam; discard seeds. Return strained jam to pot; stir in remaining teaspoon zest. Return to a boil. Remove from heat. Spoon hot jam into hot sterilized jars; cover immediately with sterilized lids.

    My first jam was rhubarb. For that and others, everyone is always adding water. I found I can mix the rhubarb (berries, apples, pears...) with the sugar and just let it sit. Do it the night before and let it sit in the fridge or just let it sit on the counter for a couple of hours. The sugar juices the fruit and you have more than enough liquid.

    As a child Saturdays were always my favorite days because I got to watch Everydayfoods on KPBS! I just moved to the UES, if you ever need an intern I would be more than happy to assist you!
  • I bought a Ball Freshtech Jam and Jelly Maker a few years back have been making my own jam in 20 minutes top...I will use your recipes, but the method is my own.
