Raspberry Preserves *

24 oz raspberries, rinsed
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
Powdered pectin, if desired

In saucepan, cook the raspberries with the salt until they start to break down and release their juices, about 5-10 minutes.  Add the vinegar and sugar. Cook over med-low heat, stirring occasionally and crushing the berries with the back of a spoon, until very thick, about 45-60 minutes.  Add powdered pectin (1 tsp at a time) as needed to reach desired thickness.  Transfer the preserves to small mason jars.  Seal and bathe in boiling water bath for 10 minutes. 

Makes 20 oz
