Mulberry/Strawberry Freezer Jam

"Adapted from original recipe # 133147. First did with kids from Vera Court Community Center near Troy Gardens. All of the mulberrys were gathered using the old method of a big sheet on the ground under the tree with a very long pole and hooks on the end. Hook the highest branch you can reach and shake the hell out of the tree. THE KIDS WERE AMAZED. Mid to late June is the perfect time to gather the Mulberrys. Troy Gardens probably has 25 to 30 fruitfull trees. Now to just remember when they are ripe and then get there to gather them."

  1. I used the recipe for the two cups of mulberries I picked yesterday. I first boiled one-half cup of water in a heavy saucepan and then added a three-ounce package of regular strawberry jello and stirred until the jello dissolved and then added one tablespoon of lemon juice and stirred again. Next I added the two cups of fresh mulberries and let them cook at a medium boil in the covered pan for ten minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and burning. Then I reduced the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for five minutes before removing the pan from the heat to cool to room temperature. I divided the cooled berry mixture into six party cups (Dollar General brand, at 12 cups for $1), and this amounted to two to three tablespoons of jam mixture per cup. I placed on the lids and put the cups of jam into the freezer. My husband and I found the flavor sweet enough with just the sugar in the jello. Each small cup of jam should be enough for four to eight slices of already buttered toast.

Having spent the last 40 years selling recreational equipment in Southern Wisconsin, I have closed my business and finally have time to cook. I never sold anything that anyone ever "had to have". SO NOW I'M LEARNING HOW TO PREPARE THINGS, FOLKS HAVE-TO-HAVE! Been great fun and love to expermint. My wife says I cook weirdsville. But, someone likes my cooking, and that's what is important to me!
