Cossie, your experiences, please. I have just opened a jar of Frank Cooper's raspberry jam. As anyone knows, Frank Cooper is at the top of the market in preserves. But it still has the pips in and I can't eat it without one getting lodged in a most uncomfortable position in my teeth. As raspberry jam is your favourite, you might be able to recommend another good quality brand as opposed to the industrial raspberry jam found in most jars.
Hugs

I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.
…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

All raspberry jam has those little seeds. I run mine through a food mill and that separates the seeds from the jam, and then I re-jar it up.
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Oh..... you can get raspberry jelly which has the seeds removed.... but it just is NOT the same.

Hmm. I agree entirely with Marc - Raspberry Jelly is for wimps! When I was knee-high to a grasshopper (no offence to Jamie!) we had loads of raspberries - both red and yellow varieties - at the bottom of our garden, and I used to consume them in quantities which were positively detrimental to my digestive system. I had an equally strong addiction to mint sauce, 'cos the mint grew in the next bed. Now c'mon, Nigel! Nothing is achieved without sacrifice; once you have one seed between a given pair of teeth, you don't get another - so gird your loins and persevere with Frank Cooper's excellent preserves!!
For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.

You'll have to forgive me, I only just spotted this thread, :-[ , and felt I had to pass on this snippet of information to other lovers of raspberry jam!
So ok, I'm diabetic and jams are suppose to be a no-no. Sigh.
But just once in a while, maybe a fortnight, I like just a little on toast maybe.
I also like a good old-fashioned trifle at Christmas. You know the one, sponge cakes doing the breast stroke across the pond of sherry in the bowl, and coated liberally with Raspberry jam. Ah...... stumbling block. Determined not to be put off, I tried the most hideous thing I could think of: "Tesco Reduced Sugar Raspberry Jam 340g".
Shock, horror, revolting....... well, no. It was a little thinner (more spreadable) than conventional jam admittedly, but it didn't have an abundance of pips, and what's more it had a delicious REAL taste of raspberries.
That'll do me fine thanks!
