Raspberry Jam

Raspberry jam is a sweet fruit preserve made from raspberries and sugar, thickened by cooking or the addition of pectin. It is characterized by a deep red color, a pronounced fruity aroma, and the distinctive sweet-tart flavor of raspberries. It is used as a filling for shortcrust cookies, pancakes, croissants, and cakes. It also pairs beautifully as a condiment with cheeses or meat dishes. Homemade versions deliver a more intense flavor compared to commercially produced alternatives. Raspberries are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which are partially retained in the jam.
