Mulberry trees are quite common yet the fruit is almost unknown. It's delicious!

Ingredients

• 10 cups mulberries
• 9 cups sugar
• ½ cup lemon juice

Directions

1. In a saucepan, mix all ingredients together
2. Turn the heat to medium and stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the berries begin to soften
3. Using a potato masher, mash berries to desired consistency
4. Increase heat to high and bring the mixture to a hard boil that cannot be stirred down. Stir constantly so the jam does not stick to the pan and scorch
5. Once temperature has reached 220° boil for 10 minutes
6. Remove from heat and immediately fill your jars with the hot jam, leaving ¼ inch of headroom
7. Wipe, lid and ring. Water bath for 15 minutes
