Seedless Raspberry Jam for Matthias_Lang

8 years ago

Since you say you're a jam maker, you will probably make your own seedless raspberry jam, but if you want some quickly without having to make it yourself, you should try the jam from Clearbrook Farms. They even ship for free. We buy their jam in Dean & Deluca when we're in the Napa Valley and sometimes we just order it directly from Clearbrook Farms. I love the (seeded) Oregon Red Raspberry and the Oregon Marion Blackberry. Hubs loves the Wild Maine Blueberry. We always get the 24 oz canning jars, and then use the empty jars for other purposes.

How nice of you! What a surprise! I really will make the jam. I used to have my own raspberry patch, but it succumbed to disease. I even have a berry screen for my Victorio strainer, but I've never used it. I don't know why I never thought to make raspberry jam. I can just imagine it tastes so bright!

I make strawberry freezer jam and raspberry freezer jam using the recipe on the MCP Pectin box. It always turns out so yummy! But sometimes it's just easier to buy the Clearbrook Farms jam! (Although I never, ever, buy strawberry jam because homemade is so much better!) :-)

Raspberry JELLY possible w/o added pectin?
Q
Comments (7)
What you're talking about is really more a seedless jam than a jelly. The main issue is the pectin is in the cell walls of the fruit and the seeds, so once that is removed, the pectin level is lower. If your fruit was dead-ripe then the pectin level has further degraded and that will really make it difficult. However, I have made true raspberry jelly and seedless berry jams like those you describe without commercial pectin. The set will probably be slightly softer, not a syrup but not super-firm. If you get too eager for a firm set, there is a risk of overcooking, but it can be done and the preserve may further firm up over time. There are some parts of the country where this is easier to achieve due to differences in growing conditions which result in a higher natural acid level. So how well it will work in your case I do not know. If you use 1/4 underripe fruit, add lemon juice and cook the mixture with a bag which includes the lemon seeds and whatever pulp you have, the odds will improve as citrus has a lot of natural pectin. Just don't overdo it or the lemon flavor will predominate. The other option would be to add some natural homemade pectin from apples (i.e. an apple pectin or apple jelly base). Carol

Chocolate Raspberry jam with Blackberries?
Q
Comments (1)
I suppose so, but they have a unique and more delicate flavor, where chocolate may not really improve the taste, or might not give it the same results as red raspberries. Instead, you could always make a nice seedless blackberry preserve, jam, or jelly. It would have been nice to post this question in the same thread as the original raspberry chocolate thread.. Every new thread posted pushes off the oldest ones, and some are invaluable unless they somehow are found, and brought back up before heading to the Twilight Zone of no return.

grape jam?
Q

Here's a place that will give you more information on the Autumn Olives. http://foragersharvest.com/autumnberry-autumn-olive/ I've heard the only way to get rid of them is by use of nasty chemicals or kerosene. Don't think I'm interested. Besides, they are so high in cancer fighting properties and other healthful benefits. Annie, I love the Seckel pears, too. I miss them so much. I've tried planting fruit trees here over the last twenty-five years, but if the deer don't destroy them, the DH or helpful neighbors do. I planted seedless Concords and another type of table grapes a couple of times, but they didn't do anything. Our neighbor who has been down here for about thirty years said whatever it was that went through here and kept the wild grapes from producing did the same thing with the domesticated grapes as well. I hope everyone finds a way to get rid of their unwanted Autumn Olive and the ones who keep them can take advantage of all the different ways to prepare them and enjoy all the healthful benefits of them.

Is there a such thing as seedless blackberries?
Q
Comments (17)
>Here in Portland, the vast majority are small and seedy as they grow well even in dry, unwatered ground. Massed together in baked goods, or eaten singly at no cost on a hot summer day, improves the experience< Yes: any general preference for Himalayan blackberries demonstrated here probably has a lot to do with them being abundant and free. With stores instead presenting products made using 'Marion' for instance. Also present and picked in my region is the native trailing blackberry with its similarly (to 'Marion') superior flavor, with my having the impression that traditionally at least the term "wild blackberry" has been used to differentiate pies and other preparations made from these instead of the others.

How much of a PITA is it to use a berry screen? I need to make some or else order some of the seedless.

My mother made all our jams and jelly and preserves when I was growing up. I think I was grown before I realized that most people buy these at the grocery store! Hers were fabulous!

That gene did not pass on to me. I'm a big fan of most of Smucker's products and particularly like their Seedless Red Raspberry Jam. Also love their Red Currant jelly.

Moonie, I haven't used my berry screen, but the screen I use for both tomatoes and apples is great. It removes the skins and seeds, and evenly pulverizes the rest of the fruit. I suppose the berry screen might clog up, but I'm not sure.
