There’s something truly special about making your own jam at home, especially when it involves black mulberries. These berries are not only delicious but also rich in nutrients, making them perfect for a homemade jam that bursts with natural sweetness and flavor. Here’s a simple recipe to help you make your own black mulberry jam that you can enjoy with toast, scones, or even as a lovely topping for desserts.
Ingredients:
Black Mulberries: 4 cups, fresh and fully ripe for the best natural sweetness.
Granulated Sugar: 2 cups, to help preserve the jam and enhance the mulberries’ natural flavors.
Lemon Juice: 2 tablespoons, to balance the sweetness and add a little zing.
Water: Just enough to cover the bottom of the pot, about 1/4 cup.
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Mulberries Begin by washing the mulberries thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Since mulberries are quite tender, handle them gently to avoid crushing them before cooking.
Step 2: Cooking the Jam Place the mulberries in a large pot and add the water. Bring them to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once the berries start to soften and release their juices, add the sugar and lemon juice.
