Seedless Black Raspberry Jam Recipe
This is the best homemade seedless black raspberry jam recipe made with fresh or frozen black raspberries.
Ingredients
- 5 pints black raspberries (to prepare about 3 cups juice/pulp)
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 5 cups sugar
- 6 Tablespoons Ball® Brand RealFruit™ Classic Flex Batch Pectin or 1 box of Classic Pectin
Instructions
- Prepare the black raspberries by crushing them one layer at a time with a potato masher or pulse in a blender or food processor to mash the berries. Place prepared black raspberries in several layers of dampened cheesecloth. Let juice drip, undisturbed, for at least 2 hours or overnight. Note: Squeezing the jelly bag may cause jelly to be cloudy but I am impatient and squeeze anyway!
- Prepare a boiling water canner. Heat jars in simmering water until ready for use. Do not boil. Wash lids in warm soapy water and set bands aside.
- In a bowl, whisk to together the sugar and the pectin. This will help keep clumps from the jam.
- In a 6- or 8-quart saucepan combine the prepared juice/pulp with lemon juice and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down, over high heat, stirring frequently.
- Add the sugar and pectin mixture to the fruit and bring back to a full rolling boil and continue hard boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary.
- Ladle the hot Black Raspberry Jelly into hot jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Apply band until fit is fingertip tight.
- Process the jars in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Remove jars and cool. Check lids for seal after 24 hours. Lid should not flex up and down when center is pressed.
Notes
- Remove any stems, leaves and the plug in the black raspberry. If you need tips on how to remove the stems and plugs from a black raspberry, I have tips in my black raspberry pie recipe post.
