Raspberry Jam With Chambord Recipes

RASPBERRY JAM WITH CHAMBORD

Steps:

• Combine berries, sugar and lemon juice in a very large stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Place pan over high heat, bring to a full boil and boil hard for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in pectin and liqueur. Ladle into sterilized jars and process in a water bath for 5 minutes.

CHAMBORD CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk together cream cheese, 3 tablespoons Chambord and raspberry jam until very smooth. In another bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until combined. Spoon into small glasses; refrigerate. Just before serving, drizzle remaining Chambord over cream mixture. Serve with fresh fruit.

RASPBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Toss the raspberries, sugar and lemon zest and juice in a medium saucepan to combine, then mash slightly to release some of the berry juice. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the raspberries to macerate and the sugar to dissolve. Meanwhile, place a small plate in the freezer to chill; this will be used to test the doneness of the jam.
• Place the saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium, stirring frequently. Continue to cook until the jam becomes thick and syrupy, about 25 minutes. To test doneness, place a small amount of the jam onto the chilled plate and freeze for 2 minutes. Drag your finger or spoon through it. If the jam holds its shape and thickness, the jam is done; remove from the heat. If it's runny, continue to cook and test again in 5-minute increments. Once the jam has reached the right consistency, transfer to jars and cool completely before storing, covered tightly. Jam will keep in the refrigerator up to 6 months.

• Melt the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, stopping to stir at 30-second increments till smooth. Stir in vanilla, Chambord, and jam.

• Stir thickened lemon-agar-agar paste into the saucepan with the raspberries and mix well. Allow to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Pour into an airtight container and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
