EASY-TO-MAKE RECIPE FOR HOMEMADE MULBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Sterilize the canning jars in boiling water.
• While the jars are sterilizing, put the mulberries, sugar, and lemon juice into a large, nonreactive pot . (Do not use aluminum or nonenameled cast iron as these can create off colors and flavors in your jam; stainless stee l or enameled cast iron are fine.)
• Bring the mixture to a full boil over high heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching and to help the sugar dissolve.
• Once the mixture has come to a full boil and the sugar is completely dissolved, add the pinch (a couple of scrapes on a grater) of freshly ground nutmeg.
• Add the liquid pectin. Boil for 1 minute while stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.
• Skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface of the jam .
• Ladle the jam into the sterilized canning jars , leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean damp cloth or paper towel.
• Secure the canning lids, and process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the water bath using a jar lifter or tongs. Set on a cooling rack or towels 1-inch apart. Let cool completely without disruption for 12 to 14 hours. The lids will pop or ping as they seal.
• Test the seal by pressing down on the center of the lid; it should feel solid. If you remove the ring, the lid should not come off. Any jars that fail should be refrigerated and eaten right away or, if it has been less than 24 hours since canning, reprocessed with a new lid (and jar, if necessary).
• Store in a dark, cool place for up to 1 year. Enjoy.

MCP® MULBERRY JAM

• Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain jars well before filling.
• Crush mulberries thoroughly, one layer at a time. Measure exactly 5-1/2 cups prepared fruit into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot. Stir in lemon juice.
• Stir in pectin. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 4 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 min. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lids springs back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

MCP SWEET CHERRY JAM

Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 min. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middle of lids with finger.

BLACKBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Place the berries in a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Bring to a full boil over high heat, mashing the berries with a potato masher as they cook. Add the lemon juice and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring and mashing constantly.
• Add the sugar and return the mixture to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until it begins to look syrupy and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and test for doneness: a candy thermometer should register 220 degrees F and the mixture should coat the back of a spoon. Run a finger--or a clean object about the width of a finger--through the coat of jam. If the jam does not run and fill the gap, it is done. Otherwise, return the pan to the heat for another 1 to 2 minutes and test again. Be careful not to let the mixture get too thick--it will thicken as it cools.
• When the jam is done, transfer it to a heatproof jar and cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate. The jam will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Transfer to a clean glass jar, secure lid, and let cool to room temperature.

• In a large pan, combine berries with sugar.
• Crush berries with a potato masher.
• Add lemon juice and lemon rind.
• Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that forms.
• Cook at a full boil until jam thickens, approximately 30 minutes (jelling point is 221F).
• While the berries are cooking, sterilize your jars and heat the seals in a pan of hot water.
• Pour jam into hot jars; wipe rims, place seals and screw on bands fingertip-tight.
• Process in a boiling water bath for five minutes; remove to a protected countertop and let cool, undisturbed for 24 hours.
• If any of the lids have not sealed, either re-process or store in the refrigerator and use those jars first.

FREEZER JAM

Steps:

• Thoroughly wash, rinse, and dry seven 8-ounce plastic freezer or glass jars with tight-fitting lids. You can also use zip-top freezer bags.

• In a bowl, whisk together sugar and pectin; add to fruit, stirring until sugar mixture dissolves and fruit returns to a full rolling boil. Boil 1 minute, then remove from heat.
• Transfer to jars or bags, leaving a 1/2-inch space on top. Seal and let sit at room temperature until jam is set, 2 to 3 hours. To store, freeze, up to 6 months. To thaw jam, transfer to the refrigerator and use within 3 weeks.
