- 3 cups raspberries
- 4 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 6 cups sugar
Instructions

- Transfer peach raspberry puree to astainless steel saucepan over medium-high heat. DO NOT BOIL. Add lemon juiceand sugar and stir to combine.
- Using a thermometer heat to 190 degreesFahrenheit, stirring occasionally. Because this recipe has sugar it will get totemperature rather quickly so keep your eye on the thermometer. Remove from heat.
