How to Remove the Seeds from Raspberry Jam

Love the taste of raspberry jam, but hate all the tiny seeds that get caught in your teeth or dentures? The solution is to use raspberry jelly instead! Jelly is just jam with no seeds, basically, so all you need to do is find a way to get those pesky seeds out of your jam! Here is a quick and easy method to convert your raspberry jam to jelly. Enjoy!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• raspberry jam
• sauce pan (pot)
• spoon
• strainer with fine mesh
• medium sized bowl

1. Pour the jam into your sauce pan.
2. Set the pot on low-medium heat.
3. Cover with a lid and let the jam heat up.
4. While jam is heating up, wash the jar thoroughly with hot water. Set aside to air dry, or dry it by hand.
5. When jam is heated to the point that it forms foamy bubbles on top and is quite thin, remove from heat. Do not allow it to actually boil!
6. Pour heated jam through a strainer into the bowl. You will likely need to use a spoon to help the jelly get through, as the seeds will start to block it.
7. Pour the liquid from the bowl into the clean jam jar. It will be only about 2/3 full now - that's how many seeds you've removed!
   
   Allow the jelly to cool before you put it in the refrigerator, OR process with your favourite canning method to seal it for storage.
8. Now what can you do with the jelly?
   * enjoy it on toast
   * use it for recipes such as homemade jello, or jelly donuts
   * pour it into pretty jars, seal using canning process, and package it to give as gifts!
