    Instructions

    If you’ve ever wondered, “How do I make jam in my Instant Pot?”, then you have come to the right place! Here are step-by-step photos and detailed instructions to make homemade raspberry jam. Even if this is your first time making jam, we’ve made it easy!

    1. Place the raspberries into the Instant Pot.
    2. Cover the berries with the sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla, and let them sit for about 10 minutes. (Don’t skip this step – it starts to break the fruit down and activates the natural pectin in the raspberries.)

    1. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the quick release valve is set to sealed.
    2. Cook on manual pressure for 3 minutes.
    3. Meanwhile, mix the cornstarch (or arrow root powder) and water into a slurry in a small bowl and set aside.
    4. Let the Instant Pot naturally release for 5 minutes and carefully flip the quick release valve to release the rest of the pressure.
    5. When the pin has dropped, open the lid.
    6. Stir in the cornstarch slurry.

    1. If you like the jam smoother, use an immersion blender to blend the jam until it is at the desired consistency. However, if you prefer a few larger pieces of fruit or a thicker consistency, blend part of the jam and leave the rest of the jam untouched.
    2. Let the hot jam cool and give it one last stir.
    3. Pour this fruity pressure cooker jam into clean jars.

    FAQs

    Can you can jam in an Instant Pot? The Instant Pot works for steam canning/preserving high acid food like jams and jellies.

    Will this recipe work with less sugar? The low sugar raspberry jam will be less sweet but you can reduce the sugar to your personal tastes.

    Can you use other fruit to make Instant Pot jam? Yes! You can use the same amount of your favorite fruit to make homemade strawberry jam, peach jam, mixed berry Instant Pot jam or blackberry jam.
