Project #7 Homemade Raspberry Jam - Canned
We started out with 12 pounds of fresh raspberries, yum!

Next we washed all berries and jars, leaving jars on the heated dry cycle in the dishwasher. When canning jam, it must be poured into hot jars! 
Measure out berries before they are mashed (something we learned by mistake!) and mash with a potato masher.
Our recipe calls for fresh lemon zest, lemon juice, water, pectin and sugar.
After follwoing cooking directions, stiring constantly, remove pot from heat and scrape foam from the top.
Using a funnel for canning, pour raspberry jam into hot jars.
Process jars for 10 minutes in a boiling water canner. (If you have a pressure canner, it can be used as a boiling water canner)
The finished product - 12 pounds of raspberries yields about 24 half pints of jam
