What Are Mulberries, Anyway?

You have walked through your neighborhood in late spring or early summer. You have noticed squished purple berries all over the sidewalk. They even be on your shoes. Chances are, you’ve already met the mulberry.

Mulberries are the fruit of trees in the Morus family, and they look a lot like long, skinny blackberries. These trees can get huge, and when they’re loaded down with ripe fruit, they’re basically a bird buffet. There are a few different types out there, but the most common are:

• Red mulberry (Morus rubra) – native to the U.S., sweet and tangy
• Black mulberry (Morus nigra) – dark, juicy, packed with flavor
• White mulberry (Morus alba) – often milder and honey-like, originally from Asia

The fruit color doesn’t always match the name, by the way. Some white mulberry trees produce purple or pinkish berries too, just to keep things interesting.

So, what do you do with them?

Well, if you ask the birds, the answer is “eat them all right away.” But if you can grab some before the birds do, mulberries are super versatile:

• Eat them fresh right off the tree (just watch out for purple fingers)
• Bake them into pies, cobblers, or muffins
• Make jam or syrup
• Dry them for snacks or trail mix
• Or ferment them into wine, if you’re feeling adventurous

They’re also surprisingly good for you—loaded with vitamin C, iron, and antioxidants. Not bad for a fruit that most people overlook.

A little heads-up: mulberry trees can get messy. The berries stain everything (ask me about the time I walked across a mulberry-streaked sidewalk in white sneakers…). But if you don’t mind a little berry chaos, they’re an awesome free treat. It’s especially the case if you find a wild one.

Pick, wash, and remove stems from berries. The more ripe and darker they are the more juicy they will be.

Add the berry mixture to the top of the batter before baking.

Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown. Check with a toothpick to tell if the batter is cooked. If the toothpick comes out clean after being inserted into the cobbler then it is done.

Top with whipped cream, and fresh strawberries! This cobbler is also tasty with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
