Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh mulberries
• 1.5 cups Rhubarb stalks
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Liquid pectin

Directions

Step 1

Wash the mulberries thoroughly and remove any stems or leaves.

Step 2

Trim and chop the rhubarb stalks into small 1/2-inch pieces.

Step 3

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the mulberries, rhubarb, and sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow the fruit to release its juices.

Step 4

Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Add the lemon juice, continuing to stir, and simmer the mixture for 20-25 minutes, or until the fruit has broken down and the mixture has thickened slightly.

Step 6

While cooking, skim off any foam that forms on the surface using a spoon.

Step 7

Stir in the liquid pectin and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Test the jam's consistency by placing a small spoonful on a chilled plate; it should wrinkle slightly when pushed with your finger.

Step 8

Remove the pot from heat and let the jam cool for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully ladle the jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.

Step 10

Seal the jars with lids and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure preservation.

Step 11

Remove jars from the water bath and allow them to cool completely on a towel-lined countertop. Check to ensure the lids have sealed properly before storing.

Step 12

Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to one year. Refrigerate after opening and consume within 2 weeks.
