What it is
This is a sweet spread made from ripe raspberries and sugar. It has a vibrant red color and a pleasingly tart flavor. The preserves are cooked down to achieve a thick, spreadable consistency, allowing the natural fruitiness of the raspberries to shine through. It is a classic pantry staple enjoyed by many for its simple yet delicious taste.
