Fruit
Fruit
Mulberry fruit is the whole soft cluster as harvested—white, red, or black depending on species—with a sweet, sometimes honeyed juice that stains deeply. Fully ripe berries collapse off the stem; underripe ones stay sour and firm. Fresh fruit is highly perishable and rarely travels well. Eat out of hand, cook into jam, or freeze flat for later baking. Dried mulberries are the practical pantry form outside harvest season. Sort leaves and unripe pale fruit before use.
