Fresh Raspberry Jam

Fresh Raspberry Jam

Fresh Raspberry Jam is the easiest jam you will ever make-I guarantee it!  It totally tastes like summer in a jar, ruby red, sweet and richly raspberry. For busy folks who want a delicious and quick spread, this is it. No water bath necessary. And, only two ingredients!!!

It’s based on a recipe by Nigella Lawson from her wonderful cookbook, How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking.
Seriously, don’t you want to be a domestic goddess??

Author: Nigella Lawson
Recipe type: Condiment
Prep time:  5 mins
Cook time:  25 mins
Total time:  30 mins
Serves: 1 pint
 
This is the easiest jam you will ever make-I guarantee it! It totally tastes like summer in a jar, ruby red, sweet and richly raspberry. For a busy mom who wants a delicious and quick spread, this is it.
Ingredients
  • ½ pint of raspberries, preferably organic
  • 1 cup organic sugar
  • 1 eight oz. jar
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350.
  2. Pour sugar into a glass pie plate or ovenproof bowl.
  3. Pour the raspberries into a 2nd pie plate.
  4. Put both in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes so that they are very hot. The sugar will often look the same as when you put it in the oven but it is molten-hot! Keep away from the kids!
  5. Now, remove the 2 pie plates from the oven and carefully pour the hot sugar over the hot raspberries. The raspberries will melt from the heat of the sugar into a ruby red lake of pure raspberry heaven.
  6. Pour this into your very clean glass jar and let it cool. It will thicken as it cools.
  7. Put the jar in the fridge and enjoy the most intense and flavorful jam you have ever eaten!
  8. Spoon it over a cheesecake or ice cream, slather it on a scone, sandwich it between cake layers or do what I do and eat it with a spoon!

Kate’s Tips

  • When I make Fresh Raspberry Jam, I double the recipe and use 1 pint of berries, 2 cups of sugar and a 16 oz. jar.
  • I don’t know if this recipe will work with any other berries but it just might with blueberries.

Recommended Recipes

    Can you substitute coconut sugar for the sugar in this recipe? Or perhaps honey? Or fruit juice?

      Hi Maureen – I tried making this with the coconut sugar and honestly, it affected the flavor more than I liked. The original recipe is deeply flavored with the raspberries which is what makes it so good. If you use organic sugar, at least it will be a bit healthier but honestly, when you eat jam, you aren’t eating that much, maybe a tablespoon or two at most on a piece of toast. Both the honey and fruit juice would cause this to be too runny and no longer jam. You could always cut the sugar down to ½ a cup and it would still be plenty sweet. Blessings! 🙂

        Thanks, Kate! I thought this might be the case. I appreciate your experimenting, though. I’m sorry you ended up with a batch that wasn’t as tasty as you would have liked.

        I think I just need to move in so I can enjoy your great cooking all the time. Want to rent out your bottom floor? 🙂

New post up at @momtomompodcast!. So much about Go New post up at @momtomompodcast!. So much about God and His Word is still a mystery, even to the greatest theological minds down through the ages. Faith–simple, childlike #faith is what holds the whole thing up. But, do we just stop there?
.
In 2 Timothy 2:15, we’re charged to rightly handle the Word of Truth and to study to show ourselves approved unto God. And in 1 Peter 3, we’re told to always be ready to give an account of the hope that we have in Christ.
.
Should part of that readiness be Biblical literacy–not just being able to quote Scripture, but being able to use those Scriptures to better know God–His character and attributes–and to better know the doctrines of our faith and how those are to be lived out in our everyday lives? .

Today, we’re joined by @phyliciamasonheimer who is going to help answer that question and hopefully give us some tips for living in the tension of both a simple faith and practical theology.

See that smile on my face? That smile is because G See that smile on my face? That smile is because God sent me a sweet holy reminder this week in the form of my first royalty check for The God Dare.
.
In this day and age it’s a rare thing for most authors to pay back their advance to their publisher, especially within the first 6 months of a books release. So I’m standing here in awe of His goodness and the faithfulness of all of you who’ve read and shared my book. I’m honored and deeply humbled as He used this moment to remind me how good He’s been to me in this writing journey.
.
The God Dare has been a labor of love that took 8 years to go from simple blog post to published book and I stand here amazed today that it’s already in its second printing and, I earned my first royalty check.
.
My first book came out in 2012 and I’ve yet to pay back that advance. It can take time and for most of us it does, especially in the Christian book world. But if you’re a writer who’s got a book coming out soon or you’re thinking of writing some day, follow that dream. Dreams do come true...I promise 💖.
.
Keep writing, keep trusting, keep praying, keep believing. He has a plan and it’s good. Bless you and thank you all so very much for all you love & support 😘. #hopewriters #calledcreatives #authorsofig #writersofinstagram #christianwriters #publishedauthor #hopewriter #thegoddare #christianpublishing #amwriting @hopewriters @calledcreatives
If you’re a mom, you’re human and you’re goi If you’re a mom, you’re human and you’re going to make mistakes. ⠀
⠀
Your kids WILL frustrate you. You’ll get angry, crabby and irritated. It goes with the territory so stop beating yourself up over it. We’ve all done it, we’ll do it again. Living in a fallen world with fallen natures takes everything in us to conquer the sin deep within. But, your children will survive your crabby days, I promise! And, there's hope for change.⠀
⠀
I’m further along in my parenting journey, my daughter is grown with children of her own so I’ll share my perspective. I struggled with anger, I still do to be honest. Mostly because I have a way in my head I think everything should be. When it doesn’t look the way I want it to, I snap. I answer harshly. I’m impatient. I want to control life and I want life a certain way—my way—which is rarely THE way.⠀
⠀
I’m selfish, thinking I have rights but the truth is, when we follow Christ we give up our right to ourselves. We tell the Lord with all sincerity, “I surrender all” until we don’t and the inner ugly rears its head. I must surrender my ways, my wants, my ego, my future, my time, my control, my everything to the only One who can change me from the inside out. ⠀
⠀
The way you love is the way you’ll live. If you sincerely love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, then His love will flow out of you naturally. Not perfectly but naturally. Because, mama, you’ll never be perfect.... .

I remember my mom praying "now I lay me down to sl I remember my mom praying "now I lay me down to sleep" each night when I was little, along with some other prayers that weren't very Biblical but brought comfort to a scared little girl. Our family didn't place much emphasis on God or prayer and I didn't come to know the Lord until after I turned 29. When I had my daughter a year later, I knew prayer would be an integral part of our lives. I'm convinced time on our knees is the best investment we can make in our children's lives.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Before your children were a glimmer in your eye, God knew them and set a plan for his or her life firmly in place. God ordered their steps and set the course of their lives with every twist and turn already mapped out. He dreamed a big dream and gave you the task, with His help, of finding out what that big dream is. He wants to guide you every step of the way and help you dig down deep and mine every ounce of greatness in your child. Because the dreams and desires we hold for our children and ourselves are important to God—more important than we can imagine. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I was never afraid to believe God had a huge plan for my daughter. I was just naive enough to take God at His word and believe in the power of destiny. I've seen my belief bear tremendous fruit over the years. I'm pleading with you here: Don't be afraid to dream BIG for your child....

These are unprecedented times. So many parents are These are unprecedented times. So many parents are being thrown into schooling-from-home with little to no direction. We’ve shared before in episode 30 some general ideas and suggestions for homeschooling, so we’re not going to unpack all of that today. But we would like to dive deeper into one part of homeschooling that we believe is the foundation for what all the rest of our child’s education and really their very lives is built upon.
.
Today, we’re talking about Morning Time. Some folks prefer to call it Morning Basket, Morning Meeting, others who maybe choose to slot it at other times in the day instead of the morning have been known to call it Symposium or Power Hour. No matter what you call it, if you’ve been homeschooling for any length of time, you definitely know that it’s a current buzzword in homeschooling circles. It seems that everyone has caught the fever.
