Mulberry jam

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make mulberry jam? In order to make jam, place the mulberry in a colander, rinse with cold water, leave for 10 minutes to drain excess juice.

2. Step 2:

   

   Tear off the stems or cut them off with scissors. I advise you to do it with scissors, because the berries are very juicy and fragile and release juice at the slightest pressure. Place the processed berries in a saucepan with a thick bottom. Keep in mind that mulberry can stain dishes.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cover the mulberry with sugar and put it in the refrigerator overnight so that it will let the juice.

5. Step 4:

   

   After the specified time, remove the mulberry from the refrigerator, put it on the stove, cook over medium heat for ten minutes, stir occasionally and collect foam and seeds.

6. Step 5:

   

   Remove from heat and leave for five hours. During this time, the berries will absorb the juice. Put it back on the fire and cook for another ten minutes, stir occasionally, remove the foam and collect the seeds. Squeeze the juice out of half a lemon and add it to the jam. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.

7. Step 6:

   

   Wash the jars and lids well and sterilize them in a way convenient for you, I do it in the oven. I put cans and lids on the grill in a cold oven with the neck down, choose a temperature of 180 degrees and set the timer for 20 minutes. Fill sterile jars with jam, roll up with sterile lids, turn the jars over, wrap with a warm towel and leave until completely cooled. Then store it in a cool place - a cellar or refrigerator.
