Easy Spreadable Mulberry Jam

[@northforestfinds6893]

Thank you for this! I have generally been disappointed when I have made jam from my treasured wild berries using a standard recipe. It mostly just tastes like sugar. This approach is what I have been looking for!!

Mulberry vinegar rules in my kitchen. I use a recipe from Will Forage for Food. I understand it was originally from one Dwight Zietlow. He's out of Wisconsin. He's a treasure to hang with. I'll give this recipe a try this June.

I call Dwight the potions master. Great guy. I see him every year at the wild harvest festival.

@@foragerchef4141 I just yell out "get a haircut, you freak." To a guy your age that sounds harsh, but it's how we owned ourselves 50 years ago. I'm an alcoholic, so there isn't a whole lot of his work I can sample. He's got some good shrubs. His mulberry vinegar is a must-make for me.

With other berries it really is that simple when you want to preserve an unexpected harvest without buying a bunch of exotic things from the supermarket. Do these have no juice? A blender can crush seeds and make the jam taste like a strong tea. Later in August and Septer you have free apples everywhere at garden allotments, but no other berries anymore to combine them with. Apples are not ready yet. Curious children picking them off and throwing them away.

Mulberries have a real hard time getting past my mouth or the wine bottle at my house. :)
