Two-Colors Mulberry Preserve

Homemade Two-Color Mulberry Preserve

Homemade two-color mulberry preserve turns dual-hued berries into radiant flavor. First, you wash and destem both red and white mulberries. Then, you simmer them with sugar and water until they soften. After a rest, you stir in lemon juice and simmer again to thicken. The result is vibrant, richly flavored, and golden—summer in a jar.

Ingredients
● 1 kg mulberry
● 700 g sugar
● 70 g water
● 1 sprig rose geranium
● Juice of half a lemon

Directions
Wash the mulberry well and cut off the stems using a pair of scissors.
In a large pot, put the berries, the sugar and the water and leave it aside for 3 hours for the fruit to release their juices.
Next, simmer on low for 20-25 minutes until the syrup has reached the desired consistency, removing any foam with a spoon if necessary.
Once the syrup has thickened, add the lemon juice, stir and turn off the heat.
Put the rose geranium sprig in the hot syrup and leave it for 30 minutes to release its fragrance and then discard.
