Learning from my Mistakes | Canning Jelly

Welcome back to the 1870s Homestead! I’m Rachel, and today, I’m excited to share my journey of making mulberry jelly. Each year, I’ve tried to perfect this recipe, but my jelly never seems to set properly. I suspect it’s because I’ve been skimping on the sugar. This time, I’m committed to following the recipe closely, and I’m taking you along for the ride! We started our day by harvesting a bountiful crop of mulberries from our favorite tree among the seven on our property. After washing and discarding the unripe berries, twigs, and leaves, I juiced about 3 gallons of mulberries to get the 3.5 cups of juice needed for this recipe. (here is a link to the juicer we use https://amzn.to/3RzD8I8 ) If your berries are mostly ripe, be sure to add a bit of lemon juice for acidity. Since I had extra juice left over, I’ll be making mulberry syrup too—a staple in our household. Mulberry Jelly Recipe Ingredients: 3.5 cups mulberry juice 1/4 cup lemon juice (optional, if most berries are ripe) 1 package powdered pectin 5 cups sugar Instructions: Combine the mulberry juice and lemon juice in a large pot. Add the powdered pectin and bring the mixture to a rapid boil, stirring constantly. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to stir, and bring it back to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for 1 minute. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface to ensure a clear jelly. Ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Clean the jar rims thoroughly. Place the lids on the jars and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Throughout the video, I’ll share tips and tricks I’ve learned, like the importance of being undistracted while making jelly and how to handle mulberries to avoid staining. I’ll also discuss how mulberry jelly makes a delicious substitute for grape jelly, perfect for both our table and our bird feeders. Making jelly can be a sticky process, but with attention and care, it’s incredibly rewarding. Stay tuned to see how my batch turns out—spoiler: I think I’ve finally nailed it this time! Thanks for joining me on this jelly-making adventure. I hope this video inspires you to try making your own mulberry jelly and appreciate the humble mulberry tree a little more.
