How to Make Mulberry Fudge Chewies
- This recipe works with low-pectin fruits like saskatoons, blueberries, elderberries, raspberries, blackberries, or mayapples.
- Gently mash 1 1/2 cups of ripe mulberries (unripe mulberries are toxic – be sure to use ripe red mulberries). Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or jelly bag to extract approximately 2/3 cup of juice.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the mulberry juice, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Continue boiling, without stirring, until it reaches the soft-ball stage (240°F on a candy thermometer).
- Carefully remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly until lukewarm (approximately 10-15 minutes).
- Beat the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon until it loses its glossy sheen and becomes opaque (this will take a few minutes of consistent beating).
- Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Let the fudge cool and set completely at room temperature (about 1-2 hours), or refrigerate for faster setting.
- Once firm, cut into squares and store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for longer storage. These candies harden when exposed to air.
