Low Fat Mulberry Fudge
Diet Candy Recipe

A nice change from time to time from the usual chocolate fudge (that most of us do love!)

Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups ripe mulberries (to make 2/3 cup Mulberry juice)
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons butter

Directions:
Cook 1-1/2 cups of ripe mulberries [unripe fruit is toxic], mash and drain through a fine sieve or jelly bag to obtain the juice: about 2/3 cup yield.

Mix juice with sugar and butter and cook over low heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil on medium and boil without stirring until soft-ball candy stage -- 240 degrees.

Remove from heat; cool until lukewarm and beat with a wooden spoon until mixture looses its gloss.

Press into a buttered pan and cut into squares before the candy hardens.

Keep in a tightly covered dish or freeze because this candy hardens when exposed to the air.

Note: You can use this recipe for any low pectin fruit eg. Saskatoons, blueberry, elderberry, raspberry, blackberry or May-apple.
