We love our huge Mulberry tree. This is the first year that we've had this bumper harvest. Mulberry trees are draught resistant and don't need any fertilizer at all. Last year we got several handfulls of mulberries. But this year Larry brings in two large bowlfulls every day! Mandy has been making mulberry crisp, mulberry muffins, and mulberry pancakes. Mulberries are also delicious on ice cream and cereal.
One of our Malawian friends was visiting and we offered him some mulberries. He told us that the Chichewa word for mulberries is "malbro" but he said it like "marlboro". So now we call our muffins, "marlboro muffins." We explained to him that in the US, Marlboro refers to a brand of cigarette. We had a good laugh over it.
