Chocolate Torte with Raspberry Cream
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 3 cups prepared fruit (about 6 cups fully ripe red raspberries)—can also use frozen berries
- 5 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl
- ¾ cup water
- 1 box fruit pectin (I use the regular kind, not freezer pectin)
- Canning jars
Instructions
Directions:
- Crush raspberries thoroughly, one layer at a time.
- Press half the pulp through sieve to remove seeds, if desired.
- Measure exactly 3 cups crushed raspberries into large bowl. (If using frozen berries, drain off much of the liquid, and save for jelly making).
- Stir in sugar.
- Let stand 10 min., stirring occasionally.
- Mixwater and pectin in small saucepan. Bring to boil on high heat, stirring constantly.
- Continue boiling and stirring 1 min.
- Add to fruit mixture; stir 3 min. or until sugar is almost dissolved and no longer grainy. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)
- Fill containers immediately to within 1/2 inch of tops.
- Wipe off top edges of containers; immediately cover with lids.
- Let stand at room temperature 24 hours.
- Jam is now ready to use.
- Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks, or freeze extra containers up to 1 year.
- If frozen, thaw in refrigerator before using.
Notes
You can use red raspberries or blackberries with this recipe, which is fast, fun, and fabulous!
