FRESH MULBERRY JAM

Yes "Here we go round the Mulberry Bush early in the morning".  In my drive way I have what use to be a Mulberry bush but over many years that bush has grown into a very big tree.  O course all the good Mulberries are at the top and the birds are having their annual uninterrupted feast.

I am learning so much about Mulberries and a all the Nutrients they have and just to think I have a very big tree in my front yard.   Here is some of what I have leaned about the benefits of Mulberries:

• They Prevent Macular degeneration and cataracts
• They are rich in antioxidants properties
• They aid in  Cancer prevention
• They improved digestive health
• They boost heart health and body metabolism.
• They reduce appearances of blemishes and age spots.

What I didn't know is that they are high in iron and vitamin C as well as many other nutrients.  They will also aid in lowering blood sugar but be careful it can be harmful if you don't have a blood sugar problem.  Mulberries aid in the production of red blood cells and in vision health,

This is the way the Mulberries look when you have washed them and are now mashing what you can before putting in the sugar to begin the cooking process.  For every cup of berries you have you have to put in i cup of sugar. If you are not using pectin then you must cook the berries longer in order for them to thicken.


When cooking process is complete then jar the jam up I used 4oz. jars for this small batch.
