My raspberry jam recipe means you can quickly and easily enjoy fresh homemade raspberry jam without having to make 30 jars at once! Instead, this jam recipe makes two small jars worth – or one big jar! This is a great way to use up any fruit that’s going out of date, and I love to make this jam when I find berries on special offer in the supermarket!

I’ve decided to show you my small batch method of making jam with this raspberry jam, but you can substitute the raspberries for any other fruit or berries!

Ratios:

I work on a 4:3 ratio of fruit to sugar. I used 400 grams of raspberries, so this calls for 300 grams of sugar. To work this out easily, simply divide the weight of your fruit by 4, then multiply by 3. This will give you the weight of sugar required!

For the lemon juice, the ratio is for every 100 grams of fruit, you need 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice. For 400 grams of raspberries, I used 2 tbsp. lemon juice.

  1. This sounds like a perfect method! Love that you were able to cut down on the volume of sugar in this. That's a great trick about the store-bought lemon juice as well! Thank you for this Dani!

  2. Well there's the jam.
    Where's the Scones?
    That's probably the easiest jam recipe I've seen to date. The jam looks absolutely delicious.
    Small batching is great, I know that as a bourbon drinker.
    Great Tip for keeping the fruit for longer in the fridge 👍
    Thanks and cheers Daniella 🤤😀

  3. I love raspberry jam! And this is wonderful it’s a small batch just perfect! Thank you so much can’t wait to try this one! ❤️🐱

  4. This is so much less intimidating than traditional jam methods! I have limited pantry storage at home and this is perfect to make just enough😍 I also love the tip about using up fruit in the fridge that is nearing its end! I am embarassingly famous for not getting through all my produce before it turns and love any recipes that help reduce food waste! I loved your quick pickling episode for the same reason! Thank you! 🙌

  5. I ADORE raspberry jam! That thumbnail really stopped me in my tracks! I used to make freezer jam with loganberries (seriously, the BEST berries! but they are impossible to find these days). I always made a low sugar version with less fruit than the standard recipe.

  6. Sorry, more questions! I've never seen a jam recipe without pectin!!! So fascinated! And in my sugar video I found that in Britain there is sugar with pectin… can I use that with your recipe?

  7. I'm so excited about the berries I'm going to be buying in Britain this summer… we discovered some great farms in Herefordshire where we can stop and get the most glorious berries!
    P.S. I lied… THIS was my last comment! LOL

  8. I've never made my own jam but I really should, especially knowing that this only makes a small amount! I hate those recipes that show how to make a butt load 'cause I don't need it! Love the colour and it must taste totally delicious, gotta do this next time I get fresh berries! why buy jarred jam when this is so fresh and not processed!

  9. Really easy to make recipe! Especially because she gives the fruit to sugar ratio and the amount of lemon juice required per 100g. Yummy too ♥️

  10. Thank you for the recipe and the very helpful ratios! Just a question on jarring: so in your method you will not need to boil the filled jars to get them sealed for pantry storage? Will the lids of the traditional mason jars be sectioned in during cooling off time? Thank you.

  11. Hi, thinking of using this recipe for raspberry but just a bit confused. '2-3 tbsp. vinegar' are recorded in the written ingredients but no mention of this in the video. wonder if you could clarify. thanks
