RE: Wildcrafted Medicine: The Incredible Healing Properties of MULBERRIES
Mulberries are such a great fruit. I'm always surprised how many people think they are poison or they just don't like having the mulberries drop in their yard. It's easy to get permission to pick all you want. I like a mulberry pie, but some folks don't care for the stem that goes all the way through them. I like to eat the young, tender leaves, too. And if you ever find one hanging over a riverbank, that's the place to go fishing. Enjoy all your mulberries! :D
Agreed, mulberries ARE a great fruit! Great tip to ask people with mulberry trees if you can collect their fruit, @haphazard-hstead. It's fantastic that in reaping the mulberry harvest from a neighbor who doesn't care for them, you are also doing them a favor by cleaning up their yard - that's our kind of trade!
Mulberry pie is excellent, and we do a variety of jams, jellies, and sauces with mulberries and other fruits with fresh herbs. We freeze the portion of the mulberry harvest that we don't consume in a day to use in smoothies or to collect until we have a substantial volume for a batch of jam or whatever.
