 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    3      pounds        mulberries -- ripe
      1/2  cup           fresh lemon juice -- strained
    7      cups          sugar
    1                    bottle liquid pectin
 
 Put mulberries in saucepan and crush.  Heat gently until juice starts to
 flow, then simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.  Put in jelly cloth or bag, and
 squeeze out juice. *
 
 Measure 3 cups into a very large saucepan.  Add lemon juice and sugar, and
 mix well.  Put over high heat and bring to boil, stirring constantly.  At
 once stir in pectin.  
 
 Important.  Bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute,
 stirring constantly.
 
 Remove from heat, skim off foam with metal spoon, and pour quickly into hot
 sterilized jars.  Seal.  Makes about eight 1/2-pint jars.
 
 * Careful. The juice easily stains things red.
