What is Pectin?
Pectin is a natural starch that is found in some fruits, such as raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and guava.
Here is the link to my natural pectin homemade guava jelly recipe.
Raspberries, or berries in general, are usually low in pectin, unlike citrus which are very high in pectin.
Is there a Seedless Raspberry Jam?
There are a few varieties of seedless raspberry jams on the market, like this Smucker's Seedless Raspberry Jam.
Store bought jams may be affordable, however, one cannot really control the ingredients nor the sugar content. With a homemade jam, you will be able to select quality ingredients and control the calories per serving.
How Do You Remove Seeds from Raspberry Jam?
For homemade jams, it is rather simple to strain the seeds from any fruit during the cooking process. This will eliminate the seeds from the beginning rather than trying to force the seeds out of the already made jams.
When it comes to removing the raspberry seeds from ready-to-eat jams, it is fairly easy. You will need a fine mesh sieve strainer, over a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon.
Steps to Removing Seeds from Raspberry Jam
- Place a fine mesh sieve strainer over a mixing bowl
- Remove the jam from the container and place into the fine mesh strainer sieve
- Using a wooden spoon, gently press the jam into the strainer
- Repeat step 3 until all the jam is separated from the seeds and the seeds remain in the strainer.
- Add the smooth, seedless jam back to the original container and store as usual.
