Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cups water
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons date paste (optional for sweetness)
Instructions
Start by washing the raspberries thoroughly and drain them well.
In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries and water. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
Allow the raspberries to cook until they start to break down, about 5-7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to help mash the raspberries as they cook.
Once the raspberries are softened and mostly broken down, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds. Use the back of a spoon to press the raspberries and extract as much juice as possible.
Pour the strained raspberry juice back into the saucepan and return to low heat.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it sit for about a minute to bloom.
Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm raspberry mixture, stirring constantly until the gelatin is fully dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and date paste if using. Mix until everything is well combined.
Pour the mixture into a heat-proof jar or a lidded container.
Allow the jelly to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or until firm.
Once set, the raspberry jelly is ready to serve. Enjoy it as a topping on Whole30-approved breads, pancakes, or as a simple treat.
