today i went out and picked mulberries fresh from our tree in the front yard.

then i threw them into some waffle batter.

they tasted very similar to blueberries once cooked. tomorrow i'm trying them in oatmeal.

i have always thought mulberries looked delicious whenever i saw them hanging black and ripe from the tree.

once i learned that in fact they were edible, it was so satisfying to finally go pick a nice ripe one and eat it!

i highly recommend trying a few if you stumble upon a mulberry bush/tree anytime soon.

i plan on stocking up on mulberries (it's free fruit!)...freezing a few bags, maybe trying to make some jam, and definitely making some more baked goods.
