Can I use fresh raspberries instead of frozen?

Yes! Fresh raspberries work just as well. If you're making this during raspberry season, it’s a great way to use up your harvest. Just give them a good rinse before using.

Can I use bottled lemon juice?

You can, but fresh-squeezed lemon juice really makes a difference in flavor. If you’re in a pinch, bottled will do—but go for fresh if you can.

How long does the concentrate last once canned?

If properly canned and stored in a cool, dark place, it should last up to 12 months. Always check the seal and smell before using.

Can I freeze the concentrate instead of canning it?

Yes! Just let it cool completely and pour it into freezer-safe jars or containers. Leave about an inch of headspace to allow for expansion.
