Mulberry jam

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make mulberry jam? To make jam, place the mulberries in a colander, rinse with cold water, and leave for 10 minutes to drain excess juice.

2. STEP 2

   

   Tear off the stems or cut them with scissors. I still recommend doing this with scissors, since the berries are very juicy and fragile and release juice with the slightest pressure. Place the processed berries in a saucepan with a thick bottom. Keep in mind that mulberries can stain dishes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cover the mulberries with sugar and place them in the refrigerator overnight to release their juice.

4. STEP 4

   

   After the specified time has passed, remove the mulberry from the refrigerator, place it on the stove, cook over medium heat for ten minutes, stir occasionally and collect the foam and seeds.

5. STEP 5

   

   Remove from heat and leave for five hours. During this time, the berries will absorb the juice. Put it back on the fire and cook for another ten minutes, stir occasionally, skim off the foam and collect the seeds. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon and add to the jam. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.

6. STEP 6

   

   Rinse the jars and lids well and sterilize them in a way convenient for you, I do this in the oven. I put the jars and lids on a wire rack in a cold oven, neck down, select a temperature of 180 degrees and set the timer for 20 minutes. Fill sterile jars with jam, roll up with sterile lids, turn the jars over, wrap in a warm towel and leave until completely cool. Then store it in a cool place - a cellar or refrigerator.

We have a lot of mulberries, the ground is literally covered with a carpet. Usually I either eat it, or cook compote, sometimes I freeze it. I searched on my favorite website for ingredients to find out what can be made from mulberries and found an option for making jam. I didn’t know that the berry is also called mulberry) I made mulberry jam. I did everything according to the description, only reducing the number of products using the site’s calculator, which is very convenient. The most unpleasant thing about making this jam is that your hands turn blue. I washed my fingers with citric acid, but my nails are still blue. But the main thing is that this is an excellent and necessary preparation recipe! I collected the mulberries, washed them, cut off the stems, sprinkled them with sugar and left them overnight. My mulberry released a little juice. I welded it and left it for 5 hours, as the author writes. I boiled it again and rolled it up. Excellent recipe. Everything is extremely simple. And what kind of jam you get. With whole berries, aromatic, healthy and very tasty! Thank you very much to the author for the great recipe!

I chose black mulberries because they are more aromatic and the jam turns out tastier than white ones. I cooked them not in a saucepan, but in a large basin. I checked the readiness with a drop: it should not spread over the plate. I sealed the lid using my grandmother's old method, placing tracing paper in it.

I love this jam! It reminds me of childhood. When the whole family went to a neighboring village and climbed trees, collecting fruits. White is rare here, so we always had black. The recipe is not much different from ours. But I’ll definitely try yours next year))
