seedless red raspberry jam

I turned those fresh raspberries into something even more delicious and sugary.. seedless red raspberry jam. I was so certain the jar wouldn't seal because as I was lifting the jar out of the boiling pot of water, it slipped and clattered onto the stovetop. I was just relieved that the jar didn't break!

Everything about the directions I was reading had the word "exact" in bright red and bold lettering every where there were measuring directions, or boiling times, etc. ... I think I must have gotten lucky because my sugars and pectin measuring was anything but exact.

When I looked at the jar 30 minutes from the time I finished, I was pleasantly surprised that the jar had sealed; though, sad I missed that little musical pop. Next time.. I will listen more carefully. Next time will hopefully be this week.
