What is Raspberry Jam?

Raspberry jam is made from the raspberry. Raspberries are small and less than an inch in height. The are shaped like a cap with a hollow center. The body of the raspberry is formed of many round druplets with tiny hairs on them. They are a red-pink color and have a juicy and soft texture that is full of tiny seeds. The flavor is tart and has a sweet taste that is fruity and almost floral. These berries are cooked down into a jam with little bits of the berries strewn through the sticky, thick and semi-translucent jam. The jam is red and tastes similar to the fresh berry, but sweeter from the added sugar.
