Mulberries?

[2DogsFarm]

Since my neighborhood birds have planted several mulberry trees in my meadow I was wondering if anyone has mulberry recipes.

I remember eating the berries straight off the tree as a kid, but never cooked with them.

Can I use them in place of blackberries in a recipe?

If you will google Mulberry recipes you will find all kinds of recipes. Here are a few sites with diverse recipes.

LOL!
I checked this morning and the birds have eaten everything off the tree!
Guess I need to be quicker next year.

I just saw your psot about green apples and may have to try that this year.
The sugared crust recipe sounds like a treat all by itself : 9

A few years ago, I made a mulberry jam. I was going to enter it in the county fair, but my mom forgot to take it in. It was a pain collecting the mulberries, though. They fall on the ground and get smooshed before i can get to them! I might try again next year, I didn't get around to collecting any this year. They are so delicate, and are such a mild-flavored berry, that I can't really think of anything to do with them aside from jam.

MissPrissy had a great post on her blog earlier this spring about cooking/baking with mulberries. Check it out: http://bigredcouch.com/journal/?p=3210

I have childhood memories of climbing a tree and shaking the branches as my sisters held an old sheet underneath. Then we would sit on the ground an pick out the berries.

Mulberry trees grow everywhere here, and I have one in my backyard, so 2 years ago, when I first moved to town I made mulberry cobbler. Everyone that ate it loved it. This year I made a mixed berry preserves with mulberries, blackberries, blueberries, and red raspberries, but it came out a tad too sweet. I wish I'd had some lemon juice on hand that day. They're mostly gone for the year now, but what remains I will be feeding to my over spoiled chickens. I deliberately built my standard's chicken yard around the mulberry tree just so they can stand under it and wait for us to toss the ripe berries to them.
