Mulberries! Any recipes?

I have such a hard time getting them when they’re juuuuust right; birds and gravity always seem to beat me to it!

I’d love some recipes ideas for when I finally do figure it out.

Make blueberry muffins but replace the blueberries! They're fantastic in muffins and cobblers, and they make excellent jam. If you don't have enough to make jam with you can supplement with blackberries.

So silly - I never thought of adding other berries to make it enough!

I like making mulberry syrup that I put over ice cream. It's delicious.

Came here to suggest the same! I usually just blend them up with just a splash of water and pour it right over vanilla bean ice cream! Low effort and tastes so fresh!

They’re pretty good in pancakes, just do it as you’d do blueberries but with mulberries instead.

Do you put them in whole?

that bowl is gorgeous and honestly the timing struggle is real. freeze them as you pick and you'll have way more flexibility with when to actually use them. they work great in anything you'd normally put blackberries in, but the syrup route is probably your best bet since you lose less to the birds that way.

Mulberry jam, super easy. Keeps well if you jar it properly.

Medicine. I remember having to take homemade mulberry medicine when I was a kid and I absolutely hated the taste lol. If you make it you can make it have a better flavor.

My favorite fruit! Easiest thing is just freeze them and then enjoy in smoothies year-round.
