I Made Jam!

Well, sort of.

M and I collected a jug full of mulberries at the local park. Then I cooked them on low fire with some sugar (not as much as is recommended) and three squirts of lemon juice. I didn’t use any pectin (didn't have any) and didn't use the proper jar lids (again, didn’t have any). I took two old pasta sauce jars and boiled them, then added the berries, sealed the jars as tight as I could, and boiled them again. I kept expecting the jars to explode as the contents expanded with nowhere to go (again, because I didn't use the right lids).

We'll see what moldy, runny mess this turns out to be in a month…
