Mulberries

Jenny has just this moment brought me one to taste-delicious ;D-our first small crop is ripening. It has taken nine years but it does go to show that it`s  worth it if you are going to be around for a while.

Ohh  we love Mulberries Stephan! When we lived overseas we used to raid our friends huge mulberry tree,ate them raw, made jam, pies, and liquer with them.....am so jealous! ;D (used to leave a sheet under the tree to catch the ones that fell!)

For more than 20 years, my parents (and me for most of it) lived in a  house in London with a mulberry tree in the back garden. The land used to be part of a royal orchard (near to Eltham palace). We had all sorts of theories about who planted it. We once had to cut of a branch and counted about 150 rings in it.
Needless to say, we were inundated with mulberries every year. The best thing I ever did with them was make jelly (you know, like jam but with all the bits sieved out. That was truly special - all the flavour really concentrated.
