Notes

Fresh is always best! If raspberries are in season this is the perfect dessert to celebrate them. However, you can also make this year-round by using frozen raspberries for the homemade raspberry jam.
Convection Oven vs Regular Oven
In convection ovens, the fan promotes even heat distribution, allowing you to bake at a slightly lower temperature. Reduce the recommended baking temperature by approximately 25°F when using a convection oven compared to a standard oven.
