CSR Super simple Apple and Raspberry Jam

CSR Sugar - the Sugar Experts - has launched an exciting new product range - CSR Jam and Marmalade Setting Sugars. Thanks to this unique range, creating luscious omemade jams and marmalades has never been quicker or easier!

While traditional jam and marmalade making processes have relied on trial and error in finding the correct ratio and combination of ingredients, CSR Jam and Marmalade Setting Sugars eliminates all the guesswork, and helps to reduce cooking times and steps.

The secret to CSR Jam and Marmalade Setting Sugars is the precise blend of natural Australian cane sugar, apple pectin, citric acid and canola oil to ensure your jam achieves a perfect set every time. All you need to do is add fruit.

Ingredients

Raspberries (hulled) 500 g
Apples, peeled and cored 500g
CSR Jam Setting Sugar 1 kg
A Knob of Butter

Method:

1. Cut the apple into small pieces and place in a food processor. Process lightly until a paste forms.

2. Place the raspberries in the food processor and pulse to gently break up.

3. Place the combined apple and raspberry mixture and CSR Jam Setting Sugar in a large, heavy based 6 litre pot.

4. Heat the mixture over a low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Do not allow to boil.

5. Add a knob of butter, increase the heat and bring to a full rolling boil (a boil that cannot be stirred down).

6. Boil for 4 minutes only. Remove from the heat, skim off any foam and bottle immediately.

To test for a set: after boiling, remove pot from heat, and put a small amount of the jam on a cold plate. Allow to cool and then push a finger gently through this. If the surface wrinkles, the setting point has been reached. If not, return to boil for and retest at 2 min intervals.

Makes approximately 1.5kg of jam.
