Ingredients

3 to 4 pounds of ripe mulberries

1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice, strained (juice from about 2 lemons)

7 cups of sugar

6 ounces of liquid fruit pectin

Directions

Put the mulberries in a large saucepan and crush. Heat gently until the juice starts to flow, then simmer, covered for about 15 minutes. Put in a jelly cloth or bag, or strain through several layers of damp cheese cloth. Squeeze out the juice.

Measure 3 cups of juice into an 8 quart saucepan. Add the lemon juice and sugar, and mix well.

Put over high heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. When it has reached a full, rolling boil, stir in the pectin.

Continue to stirring and return the juice mixture to a full, rolling boil, one that cannot be stirred down. Boil for 1 one minute, stirring constantly.

Remove the pan from the heat, skim off any foam and pour into hot, sterilized jelly jars, filling to 1/4-inch from the rim of jar.

Put on the lids and process in a boiling water-bath canner for 10 minutes.

Remove the jars of jelly and let them cool on a wire rack.

Makes about 8 1/2-pint jars of jelly.

NOTES-mulberry juice easily stains everything it comes in contact with, a lovely purple-red. :-) But it tastes great!
