Easy Mulberry Jam Recipe

This easy mulberry jam recipe brings out the sweet, tangy flavor of ripe mulberries in a smooth, homemade spread. Perfect for toast, pancakes, and desserts.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 3–4 small jars 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 cups ripe mulberries (fresh or frozen, thawed)

  • 2 cups white sugar (or 1.5 cups sugar + 0.5 cup honey)

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  • Wash and drain mulberries, removing stems and debris.

  • Place mulberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan.

  • Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.

  • Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Test readiness with the plate method: drop jam on a cold plate, run your finger through—if it wrinkles, it’s done.

  • Pour hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch space at the top.

 

  • Seal jars and let cool before refrigerating.

Notes

  • Use wild mulberries for a richer, deeper flavor.

  • For smoother jam, blend or strain before jarring.

 

  • Sugar-free version: replace sugar with erythritol or monk fruit.
