Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh mulberries
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 4 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1.75 ounces Fruit pectin
- 0.75 cup Cold water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the mulberries and strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Remove stems from the mulberries and hull the strawberries.
Step 2
Place the mulberries and strawberries in a large mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or fork to crush the fruits until you achieve a slightly chunky consistency (alternatively, pulse gently in a food processor).
Step 3
Measure 4 cups of the crushed fruit mixture and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Add the lemon juice to the fruit mixture and stir well to combine.
Step 5
Gradually stir in the granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly until the sugar dissolves. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even absorption.
Step 6
In a small saucepan, combine the fruit pectin and cold water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Allow it to boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
Step 7
Quickly pour the pectin mixture into the fruit and sugar mixture. Stir vigorously for 3 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 8
Ladle the jam into clean, freezer-safe jars or containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
Step 9
Seal the jars tightly with lids. Let the jam sit at room temperature for 24 hours to fully set.
Step 10
Store the jam in the freezer for up to 12 months or in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Thaw in the refrigerator before use if frozen.
