Unlike smucker’s seedless red raspberry jam, this recipe does not have any processed sugar in it or cane sugar like other store bought brands.
This recipe is made with honey making it better for you! It also does not have any citric acid or corn syrup in it.
My recipe is naturally dairy free, gluten free, soy free and refined sugar free.
You can use this recipe as a base for any other kind of fruit based jam or even fruity salad dressings!
I prefer seedless jam like this recipe, because it is much more smoother!
This recipe can be made in both small batches and large batches too!

Recipe Ingredients

Honey, lemon juice and raspberries in small bowls on a cooking sheet.

Red raspberries-I prefer fresh in this recipe, make sure they are washed prior to using them.
Honey-This is my go to sweetener in this recipe! I prefer honey over sugar because it has a much lighter taste. Raspberries are naturally sweet so you do not need much sweetener in this recipe due to the sugar content in the fruit alone. In my opinion, most jam recipes are over sweetened! You do not need much to get the sweet flavor.
Lemon juice-Raspberries have low fruit pectin so I add a little bit of lemon juice to help with the taste and firm things up.

See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Raspberries-You can also use black raspberries or other berries to make this recipe! This also makes for a great seedless black raspberry jam. While you can buy seedless raspberries, I prefer buying regular ones and using a fine mesh sieve to get the seeds out.
Honey-While honey is my go to, you can also use maple syrup if you want to make this recipe vegan. Regular white sugar is an acceptable alternative too.

Recipe FAQs

How long does this recipe last?

This recipe can last in the fridge for up to 3 months. If you freeze it, it can last up to a year. It does not last as long as traditional jam recipes due to no white sugar being in it. I like to store it in half pint jars with mason jar lids.

What can I pair with this recipe?

This smooth jam goes well with just about anything from salads to just about any breakfast spread! You can Even pair it on top of my French Toast Casserole.
