Don't be so darned paranoid...

Red raspberry jam is readily available commercially both with seeds
and seedless. However blackberries and black raspberries are
different fruit and it's rare to find black raspberry jam
commercially. Blackberry seeds are about twice the size of red
raspberry seeds, and are typically woody so need to be strained.
Unlike red raspberries black raspberries when picked retain their stem
so also need to be strained.
