Ingredients

  • 1 packet liquid pectin
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups fresh ripe mulberries
  • Juice from 1/2 a lemon
  • 6 4 oz Mason jars with lids

Instructions

  • Rinse the mulberries thoroughly, discarding any stems or debris, and transfer them into a medium saucepan. Warm over medium heat while gently mashing the berries to encourage the release of their juices.
  • Once the mixture reaches a boil, stir in the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Lower the heat and continue stirring until all sugar crystals are dissolved.
  • Return the mixture to a rolling boil, then incorporate the liquid pectin. Stir frequently to prevent sticking, and allow the jam to simmer until it begins to thicken slightly.
  • As the jam simmers, sterilize the mason jars by boiling them in a large pot.
  • When the jam has thickened and reaches a final boil, promptly ladle it into the prepared jars, seal tightly, and allow to cool.

Notes

Makes approximately 6 jars (4 oz each). Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening.
