Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh mulberries
- 300 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 50 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the mulberries under cold running water, removing any stems, leaves, or debris. Gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the mulberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and burning.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the jam to cool slightly.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Enjoy your homemade mulberry jam on toast, waffles, or as a sweet addition to desserts!
