How to make homemade raspberry jelly
I have made this jelly from frozen raspberries, however, you can choose to use any berries from the freezer section of the grocery store. You should also be able to make this with fresh berries, but I like the convenience of using frozen berries, and it is a little easier on the pocketbook.
First, you will want to pour the berries into a saucepan on medium heat. Stir occasionally. It will take approximately ten minutes to break down the berries. It will start to look like the photo when it breaks down.
When the berries have thoroughly broken down, bring it to a light boil and add the sugar.
In a separate bowl whisk together the cornstarch and water. The cornstarch reacts weirdly to the water so it will feel like you are stirring concrete. It will be fine, just stir it so that everything is thoroughly mixed, and add it to the berries.
Stir the homemade jelly mixture vigorously for a full minute and then remove from the heat and let cool. It will thicken as the jelly cools down. You will want to give it a few stirs as it cools so that it doesn’t get too thick.
