Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine raspberries and sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Stir constantly, crushing berries against the pan sides, until mixture boils vigorously.

  3. Step 3

    Squeeze in lemon juice and stir once, then remove from heat immediately.

  4. Step 4

    Let cool 2 minutes — jam will thicken as it cools, so don't expect it to be thick on the stove.

  5. Step 5

    Pour into a clean jar and serve warm on toast or store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Tools you’ll need

  • heavy-bottomed saucepan (2-quart)
