Instructions

Wash mulberries thoroughly and remove stems for a smooth jam.
In a large pan, combine mulberries, sugar, and water. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves.
Bring mixture to a gentle boil, adding lemon juice. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Simmer for 15–20 minutes until mulberries break down and jam thickens. Check consistency by coating the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and blend lightly if smoother texture is desired.
Transfer jam to sterilized jars, seal tightly, and store in the refrigerator for up to a month or process in a water bath for longer shelf life.

Notes

Use a thick-bottomed pan to prevent burning.
Stir frequently as jam thickens.
Test jam readiness on a chilled plate; it should hold shape.
Adjust sugar to taste or use natural alternatives, but note changes in texture and shelf life.
