Mulberry

Mulberry Ginger Syrup is so delicious over pancakes, waffles, french toast and even ice cream! But what is are mulberries? There are three principal varieties of the mulberry, black, red and white. The black, really purplish-black variety is commonly found in Europe. The red in the eastern and southern United States and white in Asia. Mulberries look somewhat like blackberries in size and shape.
When fully ripe, their flavor is sweet-sour but somewhat bland. Unripe berries are incredibly sour. Mulberries are not commercially grown in the United States but grow wild from Massachusetts to the Gulf States and as far west as Nebraska. They can be eaten raw or used for jams, jellies, desserts and mulberry wine. Now you can make mulberry ginger syrup too.
