1. Sterilize the jars by washing in the dishwasher on the sterilize cycle or immersing in boiling water for 10 minutes. Place clean jars on a clean towel. Put 2 small ceramic plates in the refrigerator, because you will need them later to test the thickness of the jam.
2. Wash the raspberries, and pick off any leaves. Mash them with a potato masher, or process carefully with a food processor to get the texture you want. Measure the sugar, and reserve ¼ cup to mix with the pectin.
3. Mix the pectin, lemon juice, and ¼ cup sugar in a small bowl or measuring cup.
4. Place the raspberries in a large cooking pot, and add the pectin mixture. Over medium high heat, bring everything to a full boil that does not go down when stirred. Stir the entire time so the jam does not burn. At this point, add the rest of the sugar, stir well, and bring the jam back to a full boil for one minute. Turn off the heat and test the thickness of the jam by putting a small spoonful on a cold ceramic plate. If it’s thick enough, it’s done. If it’s too runny, add ¼ package more pectin, bring to a hard boil again for 1 minute, and test again with the second cold plate.
