Raspberries here have been running $5 per 6 oz package, sometimes 3 for $10 if I’m lucky. This week for some reason they’re $1 per. Maybe this grocery corp has a huge overstock or something. Anyway, I took advantage to make some seedless jam and raspberry spreads.
With a kg of berries, I ended up with a bit over 330 grams of seeds in a bit of pulp/sugar matrix. I thought, do I just throw all this fat-busting fibery goodness away? Not to mention a fair bit of proteins.
But I really can’t handle munching on a bunch of raspberry seeds. I decided to make the stuff into a fruit leather type of food.
That’s the pre-cooked photo. Post-bake, it’s a lot more broken up because I tried to lift it off hot instead of letting it cool. It’s sweet from the jam ingredients and crunchy but the seeds are no longer so tough. Pretty good.
Could I make any money selling it? No, probably not. I probably really only like it because I made it.
But if anyone makes seedless jams, have you found anything worthwhile to do with the seeds?
