French Food Friday - Confiture de framboise

 

As you know I adore raspberries and I am always on the look out for new recipes that use raspberries.

Today I am sharing a recipe given to me by French Boyfriend's Aunt, which I used yesterday and it is delicious.

INGREDIENTS

750g of raspberries, fresh

1 vanilla pod

500g of granulated sugar

250g of vanilla sugar

METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 140°C/gas mark 

Place the raspberries in a large pan and cut the vanilla pod down the centre. Scrape all of the seeds into the pan with the raspberries.

Cut the pod into small pieces and add to the pan. Simmer the fruit and vanilla gently for about 10 minutes. While the fruit is simmering, warm both sugars together in the oven.

Remove the pieces of vanilla pod from the raspberries and add the sugar to the fruit in the pan. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then bring to a rolling boil, boiling hard until setting point has been reached. Start testing for the setting point after 4 minutes, using the cold plate, flake or thermometer test.

As soon as setting point has been reached, remove the jam from the heat and allow to sit for a few minutes. Remove any scum that has risen to the surface with a metal spoon, pushing it to one side.

Gently stir the jam and pour or ladle into warm, sterilised jam jars, filling the jam right up to the brim. Seal the jars immediately and label when cool.
