Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2.	In a blender or food processor, pulse the mulberries until they are a smooth puree. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to extract the juice. You should have 2/3 cup of mulberry juice.
3.	In a medium saucepan, combine the mulberry juice and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves.
4.	Add the butter and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 240°F (116°C) on a candy thermometer.
5.	Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it thickens and becomes lighter in color, about 5 minutes.
6.	Pour the fudge into the prepared baking dish and smooth it out using a spatula.
7.	Let the fudge cool at room temperature until it firms up, about 1 hour. Then, cut it into small squares and serve.
