Raspberry, crushed with sugar

Prepare the ingredients for making crushed raspberries with sugar. Rinse the raspberries in water, removing the stems if they are present on the berries. Gently pat the berries with paper towels, removing excess moisture.

Transfer the raspberries to a deep salad bowl or dish, but not in aluminum cookware - it can oxidize! Remember that the berries should be perfectly ripe - unripe berries can ferment.

Add granulated sugar to the container and mix the contents. Leave it for 10-15 minutes for the juice to be released.

Then puree using a fork or boiled potato press - this will take no more than 10-15 minutes. Many people use a blender, but it grinds the berry seeds as well. Some people like them in the dessert, so choose a kitchen tool according to your preference. You can also grind the mixture with sugar in a kitchen blender bowl for about 3-5 minutes.

Transfer the raspberry puree into clean, dry, and preheated containers such as jars or containers, leaving a little space at the top.

Then fill the containers with granulated sugar, but do not mix it with the mixture - it will absorb extra liquid and tightly seal the surface of the preserve.

Seal the jars with lids or cap them with nylon caps and store the raspberry puree with sugar in a cold place for no longer than 6 months: in the refrigerator, cellar, or basement, as excessive warmth can cause fermentation.
