So I found some recipes for raspberry jam that do not use Pectin. They just call for berries and equal amounts of sugar. Anyone have experience making berry jam this way?

I haven't made pectin-free jams, but I would try it. I do know that some fruits naturally contain enough pectin to set, and apples have so much that you can use drop apples to make pectin yourself from. I don't know about raspberry, but what's the worst that can happen, it might not set up and you have raspberry syrup!

Pectin free preserves are fine, but they use more sugar and a LOT more cooking time, which destroys more of the nutrients.
