Most likely you have heard this nursery rhyme or even sung it a few times one of these rhymes. However, really the mulberry is more actuality a small tree. This year I decide I was going to try making something with the large mulberry on our property so this morning I picked a bunch of them to make some jelly. So they are setting up and will try later. I place most in small jelly jars but put a little aside in the refrigerator to try later.
I used a basic recipe and used sure-jell fruit pectin cooked jelly for the directions. It has not set yet and we shall see. It might become syrup for pancakes. Sometimes jelly can take weeks to jell.
