Raspberry Rose Jelly (Printable Recipe)

Smooth jelly with raspberry flavor and subtle rose aroma—great for toast, gifts, or desserts.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

01 - 4 quarts fresh raspberries

02 - 2/3 cup water

03 - 4 1/2 cups granulated sugar

04 - Juice of 1 lemon

05 - 2 teaspoons rose water

01 - Simmer raspberries with water over medium heat until fully broken down, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.

02 - Line a fine-mesh sieve with damp cheesecloth. Pour raspberry mixture through and allow gravity to separate the juice without pressing.

03 - Pass the juice through fresh cheesecloth a second time to ensure maximum clarity and a jewel-toned finish.

04 - Transfer strained juice to a clean pot. Add sugar, lemon juice, and rose water. Bring to a boil and cook until jelly reaches 220°F.

05 - Check the jelly using a thermometer or cold plate test. It should wrinkle when gently pushed.

06 - Ladle hot jelly into clean jars. Seal tightly and let cool before refrigerating for proper set.

01 - Let gravity do the straining; pressing the pulp makes the jelly cloudy.

02 - Double-straining ensures brilliant clarity and smooth texture.

03 - Refrigeration helps the jelly achieve a soft-set consistency.

04 - Use frozen raspberries during off-season for equally great results.

05 - Avoid overcooking to preserve the natural raspberry flavor.
