Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh mulberries (washed and stems removed)
  • 1 to 1½ cups granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 small cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Rinse mulberries gently under cool water, remove stems, and drain well.
  2. Place mulberries in a large saucepan and lightly crush them with a spoon or potato masher.
  3. Add 1 cup of water and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries release their juice.
  5. Add sugar and lemon juice, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves.
  6. Continue simmering for another 10–15 minutes until the syrup slightly thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  7. Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bowl.
  8. Press gently to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard solids.
  9. Pour the smooth mulberry syrup into sterilized glass jars or bottles.
  10. Allow to cool completely before sealing and refrigerating.

Notes

  • The syrup will thicken more as it cools.
  • For thicker syrup, simmer longer to reduce naturally.
  • Always use a clean spoon when serving to extend shelf life.
  • Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
  • Freeze in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
