Sterilize 5–6 small glass jars by washing them and placing them in a 120°C oven for 20 minutes. Boil the lids separately for 5 minutes.
Wash the mulberries and place them in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5–10 minutes until softened and juicy.

Always cool the fruit puree before adding eggs to prevent curdling.
Strain the puree well for a smooth, silky texture.
