A traditional Mulberry Jam recipe from Canning Jars, Etc.

Ingredients

• mulberries


• sugar


• lemon juice


• 1/2 teaspoon ginger (optional)

Instructions

1. My mother’s recipe relies on the natural pectin in the fruit. Mulberries are not particularly high in natural pectin, so you want to include some berries that still have a bit of a pinkish tinge to them


2. Wash, crush, and measure berries. For each cup of berries add 1 cup sugar and 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice. You may also add an optional 1/2 teaspoon of ginger. Cook to 220°F. Fill hot jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Add lids and process for 10 minutes in a water bath.
