This jam recipe is very easy to make and delicious! I like using apple with raspberries. I use pectin because it cuts down the cooking time and sugar significantly and makes the jam nice and thick. This recipe makes nine 8oz. jars. You can cut this recipe in half for a smaller batch. Enjoy!

This recipe is just like my regular raspberry/apple jam but with the addition of honey and a hint of vanilla. You can omit the vanilla if you wish, but it's such a small amount all it does is bring out the other flavors. This recipe is a small batch, makes 6 half pint jars. You can easily double this recipe. Enjoy!

Tips:

Choose ripe and fresh fruits. This will ensure that your jam has the best flavor and texture.
Use a large pot. Jam can bubble up and splatter, so it's important to have a pot that's large enough to prevent this from happening.
Stir the jam frequently. This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
Test the jam for doneness. The best way to do this is to put a small amount of jam on a plate and let it cool. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it's done.
Can the jam properly. This will ensure that it seals properly and lasts for a long time.

Conclusion:

Raspberry apple jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, pancakes, waffles, or even ice cream. It's also a great way to use up fresh raspberries and apples.
