Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries. Just thaw them before using.
- To test the consistency of the jam, spoon a small amount onto a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push your finger into it, it's ready.
- If the jam is too thick, add a little bit of water. If it's too thin, simmer it for a few more minutes.
- Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
