Raspberry Jam

Ingredients

250 g frozen raspberries
250 g jam sugar
20 g lemon juice

Preparation
Place raspberries, jam sugar and lemon juice in mixing bowl then, with simmering basket in place of measuring cup, cook 25 min/105°C/speed 1. Meanwhile, prepare jam jars.
Test setting point of jam (see tip). Transfer to warm glass jars with screw-top lids (see tip), leaving approx. 5 mm gap at the top. Make sure that rims of jars are clean and close immediately. Label before storing in a cool, dry place. Once opened, store in fridge.

Hints & Tips
Setting point test: place a saucer in the freezer for 5-10 minutes. Place 1 tsp jam onto cold saucer. When cool, push jam with your finger. If it wrinkles, it is ready. If not, boil jam for a further 2 min/105°C/speed 3, then test again.
To make twice as much jam, double the ingredients and cook for the same time, 25 min/105°C/speed 1.

Geleia de framboesa

Ingredientes

250 g de framboesas congeladas
250 g de açúcar cristal
20g de suco de limão

Preparação
Coloque no copo as framboesas, o açúcar compota e o sumo de limão e, com o cesto no lugar do copo medidor, cozinhe 25 min/105°C/vel 1 . Entretanto prepare os frascos de compota.
Teste o ponto de fixação da geleia (veja a dica). Transfira para potes de vidro aquecidos com tampa de rosca (veja dica), deixando aprox. 5 mm de folga na parte superior. Certifique-se de que as bordas dos frascos estejam limpas e feche-as imediatamente. Etiquete antes de guardar em local fresco e seco. Depois de aberto, guarde na geladeira.

Sugestões e dicas
Teste do ponto de ajuste: coloque um pires no congelador por 5-10 minutos. Coloque 1 colher de chá de geleia em um pires frio. Quando esfriar, empurre a geleia com o dedo. Se enrugar, está pronto. Caso contrário, ferva a geleia por mais 2 min/105°C/vel 3 e teste novamente.
Para fazer o dobro da compota, dobre os ingredientes e coza ao mesmo tempo, 25 min/105°C/vel 1.
