Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh mulberries
- 300 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 50 milliliters Water
Instructions
Rinse the mulberries under cold running water, removing any stems, leaves, or debris. Gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the mulberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently to mix the ingredients. As the mixture heats up, use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mulberries to release their juices.
Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and burning.
Simmer the jam for 20-30 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. To test the thickness, place a small amount of the jam onto a chilled plate and run your finger through it. If it holds its shape, it's ready.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the jam to cool slightly.
Carefully transfer the mulberry jam into sterilized jars. Seal tightly and let the jam cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator or a cool, dark place.
Enjoy your homemade mulberry jam on toast, waffles, or as a sweet addition to desserts!
