Raspberry Jam

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

This will make enough jam for something like an average sized victoria sponge cake.

Ingredients

100g Raspberries
125g Jam sugar with pectin (raspberries have low pectin so don't gel or thicken well without extra being added) - NOT preserve sugar

Place the 100g of raspberries in a tall sided pan or pot and crush them with a masher or something similar
Add the 125g of jam sugar and bring to the boil over a low heat until the sugar has melted
Increase the heat and boil for four minutes
Carefully decant into a suitable container and leave to cool and set
