FAQs
Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen?
Yes, fresh raspberries work perfectly and may give the jam a brighter flavor, but frozen raspberries are a convenient and tasty option as well.
Do I need to add pectin for the jam to set?
No, this recipe relies on simmering the fruit until it naturally thickens. The lemon juice helps with setting, and the jam will thicken more as it cools.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 10 oz frozen raspberries (or fresh)
- 1 Tbsp raw honey
- 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the frozen or fresh raspberries, raw honey, and lemon juice into a small saucepan, ensuring all ingredients are well mixed before heating.
- Cook the Jam: Set the saucepan over medium-low heat and let the mixture simmer gently. Stir occasionally, scraping the sides of the pan with a spatula or wooden spoon to prevent sticking. Continue cooking until the jam thickens to your desired consistency, usually between 30-40 minutes. Avoid boiling by adjusting the heat as necessary.
- Cool the Jam: Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the jam to cool to room temperature, which helps it set further and makes it easier to handle.
- Store the Jam: Transfer the cooled jam into an airtight glass container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks to maintain freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Using frozen raspberries works well and often gives the jam a richer flavor as the freezing process breaks down the fruit.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste preference.
- Stir ring frequently during cooking prevents burning and promotes even thickening.
- Ensure the jam simmers gently without boiling to preserve the natural flavors and prevent bitterness.
- Always use a clean, airtight jar to store your jam to maximize shelf life.
