Try the easy way to cook raspberries in your own juice. 1 kg of fresh raw materials will require 1 kg of granulated sugar. Wash glass jars with soda in advance, rinse them thoroughly and pour over boiling water. Let the containers dry.
Sort out the raspberries, discarding moldy or wormy berries. Rinse them, fold them in a colander, and then dry. Divide the raspberries into 5 parts, place four in prepared jars, and place the fifth in a saucepan, add sugar and place on the stove. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and, stirring occasionally, simmer the mixture over low heat until the crystals are completely dissolved. It will take about 10 minutes to make the raspberry syrup.
Pour the berries, laid out in jars, with hot syrup so that about 2 cm remains to the brim. Place the filled containers in a saucepan and sterilize. Lay a towel at the bottom of the pan, put the jars and fill them with cold water so that it reaches the hangers of the jars. Bring water to a boil. Processing time depends on the volume of containers. Three-liter jars are boiled for half an hour, and it will take no more than 15 minutes to sterilize liter jars.

For 1 kg of berries you need 500 g of sugar. Squeeze the berries by tapping the edges of the jars. Let the berries sit for a few hours to give them juice. Sterilize the filled containers in boiling water, and then roll up the lids. Turn the jars upside down and refrigerate. Store the finished raspberries.
