[Sca-cooks] mulberry syrup?

[Pat Griffin]

I've lived several places that had "ornamental" mulberry trees planted for
shade and ornamentation.  The only difference that I know, is that they were
MALE trees.  I believe that you will find that mulberries are differentiated
by sex.

What tends to make edible (or even some ornamental) mulberry messy are
the birds and other creatures that dearly love to ingest and then must
expel the waste produced... Although ripe edible mulberries *do* make a
relatively useful natural dye, if one can find the right mordant to
"set" the berry color.
