Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (600g) fresh mulberries, stems removed
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1.5 cups (300g) granulated sugar

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the mulberries and remove any small stems or debris. Place the berries in a shallow wide saucepan and stir in the lemon juice.
  2. Pour the granulated sugar over the berries and stir gently. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes to let the sugar dissolve and berries release their natural juices.
  3. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent the sugar from scorching.
  4. Increase the heat slightly to a medium-high boil. Stir constantly as the jam thickens and becomes glossy.
  5. Test for doneness by placing a small dollop of jam on a chilled freezer plate; if the surface wrinkles when pushed with a finger after 30 seconds, remove from heat immediately.
