DIY Pantry Staples - Easy Raspberry Refridgerator Jam

I was blown away by how easy it is to make berry jams. In fact I have vowed to never buy them again! One word of advice though - never make jam barefoot. Your toes will thank me!

1. Put 1 lb of raspberries in a medium sauce pan over high heat.

2. Add the juice from 1 lemon and 3/4 cup sugar.

3. Stir until broken down. (If the consistancy is still clumpy mash with a potato masher.)

4. Once the jam has reached a boil lower heat to a simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Wait for jars to cool to room temp before putting the lids on and store in the fridge.
