For the Raspberry Preserves

Stir gently to avoid crushing berries too much—let the fruit shine like rubies in the galley's stores

  • 1 ½ Teaspoons Pectin
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • ¼ Teaspoon Kosher Salt

Notes

Bright, tangy, and jewel-toned—these preserves are a sailor’s delight atop toast, scones, or layered into desserts. Keeps in the ship’s stores for up to 2 weeks. For longer voyages, consider proper canning methods.
