Ingredients
Scale
- 5 cups fresh mulberries (stems removed and rinsed)
- 3 to 4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Optional: 1 packet (1.75 oz) powdered pectin
Instructions
- Rinse mulberries gently under cool water, remove stems, and drain thoroughly.
- Place mulberries in a large heavy-bottomed pot and lightly crush them with a potato masher.
- Add lemon juice and heat over medium until the mixture begins to simmer.
- Gradually stir in sugar until completely dissolved.
- Increase heat and bring to a rolling boil that does not stop bubbling when stirred.
- Boil for 15–20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. If using pectin, add according to package instructions during this stage.
- Test for doneness using the cold plate method. If the jam wrinkles and holds its shape, it is ready.

- Pour hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Seal jars and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, or cool and refrigerate immediately if not canning.
