Heidi’s Raspberry Jam

Heidi’s Raspberry Jam starts with hand selected raspberries grown in Corrales, New Mexico. The jam is made in small batches, by hand with loving care. I slowly cook the raspberries to a brief and delicate boiling phase. This method ensures that the precious vitamins and beautiful color of the natural fruit are preserved for your exquisite raspberry experience. I developed this delicious low-sugar recipe in my kitchen at home. This wonderful jam is inspected and approved by the State of New Mexico Environmental Department.
