To all my fellow foodie bloggers out there...check out this easy recipe for making homemade rasberry jam. My friend Amber helped me make my first batch! A couple simple steps and you've got some yummy jam: Rinse, Blend, Boil, Sweeten, Pour and Seal. She and I have boys the same age and they had a great time playing and watching movies and eating popcorn together while we worked in the kitchen. I couldn't resist the cute picture of them in their chairs.INGREDIENTS
32 oz. fresh rasberries
1 box pectin
7 cups of sugar
1 tbs of butter
5 Jars (boil lids in water)
First, rinse rasberries, then blend until puree. Pour into pot, add 1 Tbs butter, and pectin, stir frequently until boiling. When it comes to a rolling boil, add all the sugar at once while stirring. Let that come to a rapid boil and then cook for 1 minute. Pour into jars. Seal and tighten. Place under canning steamer for 10 minutes. then, you're done!! Let jam sit for 24 hours before eating :)
P.S. Since I don't have a canning steamer, I'm going to do freezer jam next, which I believe is even easier than this. All this time, I could've been making homemade yumminess.

Oh fun that you got to learn how to make jam. I tried making peach jam but it turned out kind of funky, I think I know why but that is a long story. Anyways, I am excited to try this but I too don't own a canning steamer, I have no idea what that is? What do you have to do differently for freezer jam? And do you think I could sub the sugar with splenda and get the same results? (You know so that it would be Ty friendly at the same time?) I know, I have a million questions, sorry!
Yeah, It was fun. I'm sure Amber would let you borrow it, or give you a lesson :) It was so easy!! I bet splenda could work. If you want, we could do freezer jam together sometime? Maybe the girls would have fun learning too...combined activity...we'll have Amber teach it :) Hope apron night was fun, too.
What a fun skill to learn! My sister is pretty good at homemade things like that, but I haven't given it much of a try yet. Thanks for sharing the instructions, I just may give it a go!
There is nothing like homemade jam! How fun that you learned how. I would love to learn how too. My grandma makes the most delicious pomegranate jelly. Maybe I'll ask her to teach me and I can pass along the wisdom like you did! Thanks Stacey.
i remember freezer jam was fun and easy make...now i just need to do it
Good job!
Where did you get all the rasberries? I hope I can taste your jam sometime!Love, Mom
Those boys are so cute! I'm glad they are buddies!
Hey Stacey! How are you doing?? I just set up our blog and am finding all our old ward friends. Jace is so BIG! I can hardly believe it. He's so cute. Well just thought I'd say hi, know we can keep it touch better. Hope things are going good for your guys.
