White mulberry jam or mulberry jam

The white mulberry has already ripened. Many people like to make white wine out of it, which is not only tasty, but also very healthy. However, few people know that white mulberry jam is an excellent anti-inflammatory agent, and therefore it can be eaten with a cold. After all, mulberry jam has the same effect as raspberry jam. In addition, white mulberry juice, even when boiled, is rich in potassium and vitamin C, so it perfectly strengthens your immune system. It is also noticed that white mulberry berries perfectly calm the nervous system and promote normal sleep.

To start making such a jam, you should collect ripe berries from the trees that are not wrinkled, not spoiled by wasps. If it is difficult for you to collect from a tree, then you can spread a sheet or other fabric under it, then shake the twigs and sort out the berries from the garbage. The collected white mulberry variety is lightly washed under running water. It is not necessary to tear off the tails of the berries - it will take too much time. In addition, vitamins are also stored in ponytails. Then the mulberry should be dried by simply laying it out on a towel and letting it drain a little.


The lemon should be cut into pieces along with its peel. To make it more convenient, you can cut it first into rings, then either into triangles or into cubes. Then the lemon should be crushed in a blender or in a meat grinder. But in a meat grinder, you should grind the lemon very quickly - after all, metal parts will oxidize very quickly.


Mulberry and lemon are laid out in a saucepan and covered with sugar. All this should take about 3-4 hours. It should boil for several minutes - 2-3 - but the jam should boil over medium heat. After the contents of the pan have boiled for several minutes, you need to turn everything off and let it cool. Then again put it on a slow fire and boil for 2-3 minutes. And the last time you can already leave to simmer for about 30 minutes.


After the jam has cooled, it can already be folded into jars and closed with a lid. This container can be stored in the refrigerator. But if you want to preserve jam for the winter, then it is best to roll it into jars while still hot. Jars and lids should be sterilized, so you need to work in mittens, so as not to burn your hands.


Some people like to make jam out of such jam. Then put after cooking in a mixture of gelatin. If you do not want to use gelatin, then you need to boil the future jam for several minutes over low heat 5-6 times. Remember to always stir the brew thoroughly, otherwise the smell from burnt on the bottom will spoil the whole taste.


From the negative impact of mulberry jam, only those moments are noted when you eat it in a fermented form. Then diarrhea and mild poisoning may occur. Therefore, pay attention to the freshness of such jam and store it in a dark, cold place (refrigerator or cellar).
