2kg freshly picked raspberries
1.3kg sugar
Several jars, sterilised in boiling water (sterilise the lids as well)
Clean the raspberries.
In a bowl, make several layers of raspberries and sugar, let the mixture sit until the berries begin to produce juice. This can take anywhere from 4-8 hours, depending on how warm the room is (the higher the temperature, the faster the berries will give seep juice).
Put the mixture over a low flame and heat until the sugar dissolves, then raise the heat and bring to a boil for 1-2 minutes.
Leave to cool, then transfer into jars. Make sure to wait until the varenye stops steaming. It’s also important that the jars are completely dry, as moisture will cause mould to grow.
Close the jars and place them into a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes.
When the jars are cool, store in a dark, dry place.
Raspberries can be replaced by other soft fruits.
