Sweet Ball Raspberry Jelly Recipe You Can Make

Today, I want to share with you a delightful and simple recipe for Easy Raspberry Jelly that doesn’t require pectin. This homemade jelly is not only delicious but also a great way to preserve the vibrant taste of fresh raspberries. Let’s dive into the recipe and see how you can create this sweet treat right in your own kitchen!

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make your own Easy Raspberry Jelly:

4 cups fresh raspberries
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon butter (optional, to reduce foaming)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious raspberry jelly:

First, wash the raspberries gently under cold water and place them in a saucepan.
Add the water and lemon juice to the saucepan, and then mash the raspberries with a potato masher or fork until they release their juices.
Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Next, place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Stir in the granulated sugar and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Once the sugar is dissolved, increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. If you’re using butter, add it at this stage to minimize foaming.
Boil the jelly mix for about 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens. To test if it’s ready, you can drop a spoonful onto a cold plate and see if it sets after a minute. If it does, your jelly is ready!
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly before straining it through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the raspberry seeds.
After straining, pour the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about ¼ inch of space at the top. Wipe the rims clean before sealing with lids.
Allow the jars to cool to room temperature and then refrigerate them. The raspberry jelly will thicken further as it cools.
