Raspberry jam

Today, following a request from my daughter, I have been making raspberry jam.
I had to use frozen raspberries and cook them slowly, reducing the liquid too
Then I added the same amount of sugar and some lemon juice and boiled the jam to setting point.
I sterilized some jam jars for 2 minutes in the microwave and filled the hot jars with jam.
They are now cooling on the bench. I have heard several of the lids`popping' which means that the jars have sealed properly.
They will have a label attached when cooled.
I hope my daughter appreciates that the temperature was in the 30's
