Preparation

Step 1

Put mulberries in saucepan and crush. Heat gently until juice starts to flow, then simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Put in jelly cloth or bag, and squeeze out juice.

Measure 3 cups into a very large saucepan. Add lemon juice and sugar, and mix well. Put over high heat and bring to boil, stirring constantly. At once stir in pectin.

Important. Bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat, skim off foam with metal spoon, and pour quickly into hot sterilized jars. Seal.

This recipe yields about 8 half-pint jars.
