The tea bread sounds good and probably could be made with marionberries, which grow only in the northwest.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-40171582088271761512010-05-23T01:21:57.167-04:002010-05-23T01:21:57.167-04:00Thanks for this delicious looking recipe!

My favorite thing about them is that they come ripe so early--often before even strawberries.<br /><br />Are you aware of the issue with the non-native <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morus_alba" rel="nofollow">white mulberry</a> and hybridization with the native red mulberry? It's a serious issue in Delaware where I live and Pennsylvania where I grew up. It's not only an ecological issue, but also one that harms the enjoyment of this wonderful fruit. White mulberries are very bland, lacking the rich flavor of red mulberries. Hybrids (including one in my yard which I'm thinking of cutting down) can also be quite bland.Alex Zorachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335878680429494039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-14001684065320095742010-05-21T15:15:35.564-04:002010-05-21T15:15:35.564-04:00My Grandmother had a mulberry tree at one end of h...My Grandmother had a mulberry tree at one end of her grape arbor. She would put some nylon net over it to discourage the birds. I would be thrilled to have one in my yard! What a great discovery you made, Angela. Thanks for reminding me of a pleasant childhood memory.<br /><br />I was fascinated as a child with a bush that had greenish white berries that she had near her Summer kitchen. She told me they were gooseberries.<br /><br />Mulberry Tea Bread sounds delicious and moist. Apply a little softened cream cheese and add a cup of tea.
