Raspberry Jam with Lemon
Easy Thermomix Raspberry Jam, made in minutes, enjoyed at leisure!
I love a good homemade jam and I love the fact that with the Thermomix you can whip up jam and only have a small amount. The usual jam making process can be arduous and take up the entire kitchen for days. Not with this recipe. You may in fact wish there was more! Don't double the recipe, having said that. It is just problematic. The setting temperature for raspberry jam is 107°C, thus the 105 temp note. If you have a TM31 you can cook on Varoma, and use a thermometer as the timing gets close to check, or just use the cold plate trick. You will know if it is going to set or not.
Making homemade raspberry jam in the Thermomix is not only easy but also incredibly rewarding, and really something I enjoy doing, with a burst of fresh, vibrant flavour you just can't get from store-bought varieties. This recipe is perfect for capturing the taste of ripe summer raspberries, creating a delicious spread to enjoy year-round. A cheaper alternative is using frozen raspberries of course. A key ingredient in this recipe is lemon, which not only enhances the natural sweetness of the raspberries but also acts as a natural preservative. The acidity from the lemon helps balance the sugar and ensures the jam thickens properly without the need for added pectin. Plus, the natural pectin in the lemon zest helps achieve that perfect jam consistency, giving your homemade raspberry jam the ideal texture while keeping it all-natural.

You should be happy with consistency when the jam is dropped onto a cold plate. It should set almost immediately and wrinkle a little when pushed…a lot like me really! It make take a couple of turns to get it right.
