Mulberry Jelly

Ingredients

• 4 cups Mulberries (Windfall mulberries are ideal)
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar (Adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch (For thickening)
• 2 tablespoons Water (To dissolve cornstarch)

Instructions

1. 1Wash the mulberries thoroughly and place them in a heat-safe jar.
2. 2Place the jar in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 30 minutes, or until the mulberries have released their juice.
3. 3Carefully remove the jar from the oven and strain the juice through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh sieve into a saucepan.
4. 4Add sugar to the juice in the saucepan. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water. Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the jelly thickens (about 5-10 minutes).
5. 5Remove from heat and let the jelly cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars. Seal the jars and store in the refrigerator.
