Recipe for making mulberry juice from mulberries

Traditionally, mulberry juice is squeezed out using a press, then filtered and, after heat treatment, canned. But, in our kitchens, a press is not the most common occurrence, and a juicer is not very convenient for these purposes. Too much pulp remains and not enough juice. Of course, you can make marshmallows from the pulp, but the goal is to get more juice?

To extract the maximum amount of juice, place the mulberries in a saucepan, mash them with a wooden masher, and add one glass of clean water for every kilogram of mulberries.

Place the pan on the fire and cook the juice for 5-7 minutes, then remove the pan from the stove and let it cool.

Strain the juice through cheesecloth or a sieve and pour it back into the pan.

If you want a healthy juice, it is not recommended to add sugar to mulberry juice. It is better to add a teaspoon of lemon juice as a preservative and sweeten with honey immediately before use.

Bring the juice to a boil again, boil it for 5 minutes, and you can bottle it. Mulberry juice does not store as well as mulberry syrup, but in a cool pantry its shelf life is at least 8 months.
