Minou Morabāh: Weeping Mulberry Cayenne Jam

It’s my FAVORITE season again, mulberry season. And with a lot of tender loving care, this year’s mulberry harvest is for the books. The fruit is impeccably sweet and juicy and the color of the mulberries leave a gorgeous stain on the fingertips that no one can hide from. This is the second year of canning the mulberries and I’m incredibly excited to bring it online for others to enjoy. Mulberries are especially close to my heart, as they remind me of visiting Iran around this time of year, where you can purchase a kilo of succulent Persian king berries known as, Shahtoot. Weeping mulberries are as closes as we can get to Shahtoot in California; however, each berry is in a class of its own. Come purchase a jar of this delicious seasonal preserve on Etsy.
