The Mulberry (Morus ssp) are small to medium sized tress. There are red, white and black varieties. I planted a Mulberry tree in my yard 3 years ago. Today it has fruit ready to pick and ingest.
Mulberry tress can be found along roadsides. Due to exhaust fumes from automobiles I would not recommend picking those fruit. Upon speaking about picking the berries—you must know this.
Do not eat the unripened fruits and leaves because they are slightly hallucinogenic
I have seen recipes for mulberry jam. I have seen more often recipes for mulberry fudge. It has a taffy like consistency and very messy to eat I will start making mulberry jam at the end of this year. I will leave some of the fruits for the birds in my yard.
Until tomorrow…
