Raspberry Jam
(Ahududu Receli)
500 g Raspberries
400 g sugar*
2 tbsp lemon juice
Layer the raspberries and sugar in a saucepan overnight. The following morning, mash the berries. First, bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to the low. Skim off foam occasionally with the wooden spoon.
Test the jam by dabbing a little on one of the cold plate. Wait for a few seconds, then push the jam with your fingertip. If it wrinkles, it is done:) If not, cook for 2-3 more minutes. Add the lemon juice, boil for about 2-3 more minutes.
Remove the sauce pan from the heat and cool for a few seconds. Pour carefully into the jars and seal. Store in a dark and cool place.
Place some Raspberry Jam on the thin crackers and sprinkle few sliced almonds over the tops:)
*I like the sourness of Raspberry Jam, but if you don't, you can cook it with 500 g sugar instead of 400 g of sugar.

Is it ok to use frozen raspberries or frozen blueberries?
Thanks...
This is making my mouth water! Now I'm looking forward to warm weather. Raspberries, strawberries and blueberries all mean "summer" to me :)
Thank you for this recipe!
Hi,
Yes, you can. Frozen raspberries would leave more water than fresh ones so it is better to keep the raspberries and sugar in the saucepan for about 4-5 hours instead of overnight:)
Hello Binnur,how are you. My friend lives in Turkey and says that raspberries are not to be found there, do raspberries grow in Turkey? and what about black and red currants? I'm very curious:)... greetings, Natalie

Wow I didnt expect such a great answer from you:) I also forgot to mention that this friend lives in Turkey temporarily and says that can't find any of fruits like raspberries, brambles, currants or billberries at the bazaars in a one of the biggest cities of Turkey...I personally know that Turkey is a rich country which has a lot to offer when it comes to nature and agriculture, that's why I was surprised this fruit is not widely available or she goes to the wrong places? greetings:) and take care
