12 lbs sugar
36 cups water
4 - 1/2 flats of Raspberries (approx 16lbs)
18 qt jars, lids, rings
This is a light to medium syrup for the raspberries. Wash quart jars and wash raspberries. Place all the raspberries in the clean jars.
Start syrup on the stove. Dissolve the 8 cups of sugar into 12 cups of water on the stove. Do not boil, but get syrup hot! Get hot water bath ready by filling with water a little above the rack and have the water get in the green region for zone two (Utah). Pour syrup in 6 jars and place lids and rings on those jars not too tight and place them in the bath for 20 minutes.
Make sure there is a steady steam coming out not to much and not too little. Repeat 2 more times from Start syrup on the stove paragraph.
