Old-Fashioned Raspberry Jam

Ingredients:
sugars, granulated
raspberries, raw

Directions:
1.
Place sugar in an ovenproof shallow pan and warm in a 250F (120C) oven for 15 minutes.
(Warm sugar dissolves better.)
2.
Place berries in a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan.
Bring to a full boil over high heat, mashing berries with a potato masher as they heat.
Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3.
Add warm sugar, return to a boil, and boil until mixture will form a gel (see tips, below), about 5 minutes.
4.
Ladle into sterilized jars and process as directed for Shorter Time Processing Procedure .
Tip: To make a small boiling-water canner, tie several screw bands together with string or use a small round cake rack in the bottom of a large covered Dutch oven.
Be sure the pan is high enough for 2 inches (5 cm) of water to cover the jars when they are sitting on the rack.
