Mulberries have that sweet but layered flavor that is just so nostalgic: whether you grew up with a tree in your backyard in Asia or you first had it as a granita in Sicily, its sweet and jammy flavor just lingers in the memory.

To ensure that this flavor comes through and the jam is not too sweet, I have paired them with Japanese ume plums that help balance the sweetness of the mulberries. The combination is nostalgia in a jar in the best way.

Ingredients: organic mulberries, organic ume plums, organic sugar, organic lemon juice

Size: 8oz jar
