Mulberry jam

Ingredients:

Mulberries : around 5 cups (4 cups puree)

Sugar : 2 cups

Lime : 1

Cardamom : 8 pods

Cloves : 8

Cinnamon : 2 inch pieces

Procedure:

Sterilize glass jars, dry them and keep aside.

Give the mulberries a quick wash and drain out the water completely by putting them into a strainer. Then roughly blend them in a mixer jar and measure the puree.

Then put it in a wide heavy bottom pan along with sugar (reserve some sugar to powder the spices) and cook it on medium to high flame. When it comes to a boil it will release a lot of juice. Continue cooking, stirring it occasionally in the beginning. Also add the lime juice.

Mean while, lightly warm up the spices and grind them along with some sugar to make a fine powder.

When the juice is reduced completely stir it continuously.

Finally when you will be able to see the base of the pot, add the powdered spices, mix them well and switch off the flame.

Place the sterilised glass jars on a wooden board (this will avoid the breaking of glass) and pour the jam in it while it is hot; and seal it with it's lid.
