BTW, my sugar-free plum jam came out awesome!! My diabetic customers are going to love it!

 

Oh, you have to send me any sugar free recipes you have.  I have friends and family that are diabetic and could use some sugar free recipes.  Unless of course you have a book with them, then perhaps you could give me the title. 

 

Sent some jellies and jams to my brother and he called to remind me he's diabetic.  

 

the sun is shining much to do before it rains again.

Does anyone here can mulberries. I have 2 large trees that produce a ton of berries. Was wondering if maybe they could be made into a pie filling or something and canned? Thanks.

I'm sure they'd be just like any other berry.  You could just substitute them for another type of berry couldn't you?  I don't have them here but if I did I'd be using those. smile.png

I've known women that made Mulberry preserves and yes, they do it exactly the same as blackberry jam or jelly.

Love those Orps!

I don't care why the chicken crossed the road, as long as mine don't!

As galanie said, just like black berries. They can be used in everything: pancakes, Muffins, upside down cake, pie, jam ,and the most excellent of wine. I think they have the mouth feel of Styrofoam fresh, but once cooked they are so wonderful. I can not wait until our trees start to produce enough to can some.

You'll have purple fingers trying to remove that little stem end, but it is worth it.
