Jam! :-D

I don't think I have ever had a mulberry. Pie was the dessert of choice in our house growing up and I have eaten all kinds of pies, but never mulberry. I don't think I've ever seen them for sale anywhere either - not at the Farmer's Market or the grocery store.
Are they a regional thing?

Never had a mulberry anything. Actually I never heard of them until your site.

Hmm, I have a mulberry tree out behind my house but I usually don't do much with it. I've always thought mulberries didn't taste very good (too bland, and not very sweet), and I'm surprised to hear of the sweetness of the berries here. Perhaps it is just my tree. I might have to go out there and see if there are enough berries to make part of a pie. I have some frozen fruit in the freezer... I think I have a bag each of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. I don't know if any of those would even be any good in a mulberry pie, but I would prefer to put something in there for flavor. I'll post back if I do get time to go out there and pick some mulberries.

I just wanted to share about a little project I worked on today (which I have to warn you has NOTHING to do with your post! LOL!). I am slowly decluttering and deep cleaning my house, and my room for today was the laundry room. I keep all my cookbooks in there, so today I cleared out and purged old ones, etc. I also organized all my printed-out recipes (the ones I use and LOVE) into one binder and YOURS were the vast majority. THANK YOU!! I love your site and it's such a blessing to me and my family. I just wanted to let you know how much you help everyone who reads your blog! [And I can't wait for more fresh whole wheat recipes! I got my grain mill about a week before you and I am counting on you to help me through the learning curve of wheat! LOL!!] Thanks again - you rock!!

What in the world are you apologizing for? With young children, you're apologizing? You have nothing to be sorry for!! I enjoy your postings as much as the rest of them, but there is only one you, your kids are only kids for a short time... so enjoy every minute of it. Your family should always come first, and if I know you, it does. We will all 'survive' if you don't post every day like you think you need to.

BTW... I have had mulberry pie. I remember when I was a kid, my sister and I would ride our bikes to the near the school yard where we would pick bucket after bucket of mulberries (although we would eat as many as went in the bucket). My mom, who was the pie queen, who made the yummiest pies, would make pies and then we would have fresh mulberry shortcake. Yumm-O!!
