The best side effect of your recipes is the fact that you're making people dive deeper into their own food traditions and foraging cultures. As a Serb who, just by watching this video, got reminded about the fact that my ancestors had made pekmez and syrups out of mulberries back in the day... This means a lot. You made sure I won't forget about it again. Thank you. ❤

Thank you so much. I just realized I have a mulberry tree that spans about 10 feet of my property property and is bursting with ripe juicy mulberries along with my ripe black raspberries. I could not be happier and am in forager heaven right now.

My dog loves mulberry leaves as much as we love the fruits. We love fresh mulberry pie and mulberry tea. Thanks for sharing.

Can absolutely confirm, washing the berries will lead to a bad time 😩 really eager to try that Pekmez though - thanks for sharing, Alan!

First time I picked bluebs with Sam I asked him how to wash them. He looked at me like I was a psychopath. 😂

They’re up here, there’s just not a lot of them. And getting true/non-hybrids is tricky.

The white mulberry is also sweeter. And actually there are three, 'black', red and white. :) Love

There is no need to add a mother to mulberries. The yeast and acidifying bacteria are already there. I add a little vinegar to create a slightly acidic environment to cut down on mold, the sugar, water and we're off to the races. It is simply the best vinegar I know of, and I make a lot of vinegar.

It was just in there so I added it, of course you don’t have to add the physical mother. I do always add a splash of living vinegar as it speeds up the process.

Man I'm so jealous of that harvest. I have a very good size mulberry tree that I only get a handful from, even after shaking the highest branches I can reach 😟

Don’t be. Mulberries are a learned skill. I had to ask for help to learn too. If you go out of your way to learn and find good trees the amount you can harvest will blow you away. You can do it!😃

The berries around my area are still tiny and green. New England

Yep. Early July they’ll be ready in MN. They’ve been harvesting in the south for over a month.

As a kid so many berries fell off the trees we would play 'slip-n-slide! Oh, to be a kid again.

I believe if the unripe berries were truly hallucinogenic, there wouldn't be any ripe mulberries to harvest. 😂

Why do you make tea from the leaves then?

@foragerchef4141 6 ай бұрын

Because it has a nice, mild flavor. I’ve been mixing it with nettles and walnut leaves. One of my friends mixes it with persimmon leaves. As a soup vegetable I think they’re even better.
