Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and agar-agar powder. Let stand for 5 minutes to allow the agar-agar to begin thickening. (5 minutes)

02

Step
7 mins

Place the raspberries in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries begin to soften and release their juices, about 5-10 minutes. (5-10 minutes)

03

Step
0 mins

Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, gently crush the raspberries to your desired consistency. Avoid over-mashing; a slightly chunky texture is ideal. Remove from heat.

04

Step
0 mins

Stir the thickened lemon-agar-agar mixture into the warm raspberries, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Mix well.

05

Step
30 mins

Allow the jam to cool completely at room temperature, approximately 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

06

Step
2 hrs

Transfer the jam to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set. (2 hours)

For a smoother jam, you can strain the cooked raspberries through a fine-mesh sieve after crushing them.
Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your preference, depending on the tartness of your raspberries.
This jam can be made with other berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, or mixed berries. Adjust cooking time as needed.
Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
