Mulberry Foraging

There's a big mulberry tree close to G's work that's plumb full of berries. 

Jaron and I stopped by today and picked for about an hour. Jaron loved being able to stretch an arm out and grab berries to eat while I picked. Sometimes he squawked at me because I wasn't close enough to the tree for him to reach a berry. 😂 I'm not sure how many he ate, but a few fell out of my carrier when I took him out at the end. 

We picked roughly a gallon. The trick is to "tickle" the berries and they fall into the pail.

Mulberries are pretty delicate and don't last long fresh, so I'll freeze the bulk of them. Last year I dehydrated them and we didn't love the texture (probably because I over dried them 😅). Freezing is easier, so we'll go with that!
