A wonderful characteristic of the Mulberry tree is that the fruit develops and ripens over a period of weeks , kept netted to keep out the hungry birds there's plenty of berries to enjoy and share with friends. I have frozen a couple of kilos while I'm waiting for my plums to ripen as together they make a lovely jam. This weeks batch of muffins, banana and mulberry....................Delish
Nice Mulberry haul. Those muffins look fab!
ReplyDeleteI'm cetainly enjoying them while they last......
DeleteMulberries are such a beautiful soft fruit and based on your description sound like they are a long producing item too (with care and protection). You are off to a good start on the high season of production for your area.
ReplyDeleteAll we need now is a little rain !!!
DeleteYou know...we have some mulberry trees around here too and I never do anything with them...mostly the birds ghet them before I realize they're ready.
