Mulberry Jam


We have a massive mulberry tree in the back yard full of fruit which is unfortunately going to waste as there are too many berries to keep up with. I have already bottled some and today I made jam. I have made jam for years and a few of my friends think I must be very clever, this is not the case as jam is very easy......



For every cup of fruit use 1 cup of sugar, simmer away until it starts to set and if it doesnt set very well add a tablespoon of lemon juice. I had some champagne from Chrismas left over so I threw that in too...

Pop into jars and you are done. I'm off to pick some more for dessert tonight, mulberry crumble mmmmmm!
