The unfortunate truth appears to be that there are few or no jam recipes
of any kind, from "period". There are a few for preserves that are more
like fruit cheeses or fruit leather, but I'm not aware of any for
mulberries. I seem to recall a mulberry pyment (yes, I know a pyment
would normally involve grapes) mead, and I recall them being used in a
pottage somewhere, probably one of those 15th century English sources.
I'll see what I can find.
