How to Freeze Mulberriesthumbnail
Harvested Black Mulberries

Mulberries are similar looking to blackberries but are in fact different from blackberries. Mulberries come in three different kinds including red, black, and white. They can be found on full grown trees instead of small, prickly bushes that blackberries are found on. When you’ve collected so many of this sweet fruit that you can not eat them all, you can in fact freeze them.

    Instructions

    Things You'll Need

    • Old Sheet (Will be Stained)
    • Zip Lock Bags
    • Drying Towel
    • Bowl or Bucket
    • Freezer
    1. Collection

      • 1

        Take an old sheet, fitted one works best, and place it on the ground under the tree where you see ripened fruit. This sheet will have stains on it after this so use one that you don't care about.

      • 2

        Shake the tree limbs that you can reach. Use a ladder for those limbs that are not reachable. Prop a ladder against the tree making sure it is sturdy before attempting to climb it to shake higher limbs.

      • 3

        Gather the sheet from all corners and head inside to prepare them for freezing.

      Cleansing & Freezing

      • 1

        Allow the fruit to soak for one hour in a bowl or bucket of water depending on how many mulberries you collected.

      • 2

        Strain the fruit and lay them out on an old clean towel. This fruit stains anything it touches!

      • 3

        Pat the fruit dry.

      • 4

        Fill zip lock bag ¾ full of mulberries.

      • 5

        Fold bag over to let the air in the bag escape. The more air you get out, the better they will taste.

      • 6

        Place in the freezer for up to three months. After three months they are no longer good.

    Tips & Warnings

    • Mulberries have a purple dye in them that will stain everything they touch.

    • Mulberry ice cream will leave your guest's mouths purple.

    • Some people may be susceptible to allergic reaction to the leaves.

    • Always eat ripened mulberries as unripened fruit may cause gastric upsets.
