No problem! Glad you liked the pie, it was a hit with my in-laws (now they want more

). I also made delicious jam from the mulberries. If you are feeling domestic and ambitious, I highly suggest it. I just followed the instructions on the box of pectin. My DH is actually wanting PB & J sandwiches for lunch!
The canning process is a bit labor intensive, but I am giving a few varieties of homemade bread and jam baskets out for Christmas. So, I feel like I am getting a (cheaper) jump on Christmas...

Unfortunately, right now I don't have any seedlings. I am going to try to throw a few berries in a bucket o' dirt and see what comes of it. I'll let ya know if I get any sprouts!

Thank you~

I had an idea when I was making jam and the seeds were floating to the surface...send me your address and I will try to dig some seeds out of the berries and send those along in an envelope. Brilliant, and so much easier than shipping live plants...

I made mulberry pie last year too! No one had ever heard of it, but wow was it yummy. We also made mulberry-raspberry pie. A question for you -- we couldn't pull all the little tiny green stems of the berries. How did you handle that?

I would love to know if those seeds sprout for you! I haven't had any mullberrys in 50 years! I remember purple fingers! lol

Mulberry trees are EVERYWHERE here. They grow like weeds in every nook and cranny.

My brother and sister-in-law have a mulberry tree in their yard. The kids climb in it and pick the berries. They return to the house with purple faces and hands! I picked some and made a yummy cobbler this spring. We liked it better than the dewberries we also have around here. The mulberries don't have the little seeds that dewberries have. Also I just ignored the little stems. They weren't noticeable after baking!
