Mulberry Preserves!

I have a Mulberry tree in my yard and I love to collect the mulberries and make preserves out of it. I mainly make this for all of my friends, who come back every year for more. This recipe is packed with mulberries and the flavor is undeniable! It's amazing!

You'll Need:


  1. 4 cups mulberries (lightly mashed with a potato masher)

  2. 3 cups sugar

  3. 2 (1.75 oz) packs of Sure-Jell

  4. 6 half pint canning jars with lids and rings


Instructions:

  1. Heat mulberries, sugar, and Sure-Jell together in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a rolling boil. Cook fig mixture, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes; remove from heat.

  2. Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pour hot mulberry mixture into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/2 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.

  3. Step 3Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.

  4. Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area. Enjoy!
