Mulberry Jam
Description
Perfect for winter preserves. Mulberry berries (mulberries) are rich in vitamins and trace elements. Mulberries are used to make various desserts, drinks, and preserves. I highly recommend cooking and enjoying jam from this wonderful berry. See the detailed recipe below. Jars keep for up to a year in a cool place.
