Raspberry Vanilla Bean Spread Canning
Raspberry Vanilla Bean Spread Canning is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that will leave your taste buds wanting more. This recipe is perfect for those who love the sweet and tangy taste of raspberries combined with the rich flavor of vanilla beans.
To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 cup of fresh raspberries
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of lemon juice
To start, wash and dry your raspberries and set them aside. Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds using a knife. In a large saucepan, combine the raspberries, vanilla bean seeds, sugar, and lemon juice.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until it has thickened and reached a spreadable consistency.
While the mixture is simmering, prepare your canning jars by sterilizing them in boiling water for 10 minutes. Once the mixture has thickened, remove the vanilla bean and pour the hot spread into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace.
Seal the jars with lids and rings and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Remove the jars from the water and let them cool completely before storing them in a cool, dark place.
This Raspberry Vanilla Bean Spread Canning recipe is perfect for spreading on toast, muffins, or scones. The appearance of the spread is a beautiful deep red color with flecks of vanilla bean throughout. The taste is a perfect balance of sweet and tangy with a subtle hint of vanilla.
