    @slimgirljo15 you're in Oz right? Yet I have never seen a mulberry pie, yet as a kid I used to eat them, throw them and generally stain all my clothing with them!! I love them.

    Yep, Im Australian. I did the same as a kid, we had a huge mulberry tree and once they were ripe everything I wore was mulberry stained 😆 man, that stuff is hard to get out.

    Mom has a mulberry tree and makes pie ever year around July 4. :smiley:

    You're so lucky, Mulberry trees aren't easy to find anymore. Sadly the tree at my dads was hit by lightning years ago and died. I have to buy blackberries from the shop ( closest in taste I can find) but they are so expensive roughly $12 just for enough blackberries to make a pie. 😔

    Since y'all failed to give me notice, I'm flipping through my Joy of Cooking to see what kind of pie I can whip up quickly today with ingredients I have on hand. Normally I have blueberries, but am shopping tmrw and used the last of them today. I'm looking at various chocolate pies. I have no premade pie crusts, and don't want to roll dough, and am about to see if I have enough Graham crackers for a crumb crust.

    I'm supposed to be setting up my new computer and have successfully procrastinated all day long...

    I was feeling a little out of control with the pie thing, so had an orange instead, which is a joke between my brother and me about our mother's position on desserts when we were growing up that turned out to be useful advice.

    "Want dessert? Have an orange."

    I would have rather had pie, but hadn't planned for it, didn't have the calories, had no recipes that wouldn't include a boat load of saturated fat which I've been reducing, and felt like making it would unleash a binge.

    I'm not really into pies. Well, I like a nice piece of apple tart every now and then, and vlaai, but I'm not into cream, custard, thick layers of chocolate. Fluffy dough layers and fruits are fine though.

    @slimgirljo15 we discovered mulberry trees while biking during the first month of covid. Couldn’t figure out why blackberries were growing on trees. Google told us what they were and gave us a pie recipe.

    Then we became obsessed finding and picking mulberry trees. So many neighbors and passerby’s were interested in what we were doing we had to hold out on one small secret grove so we’ll get some this year.

    We are already checking the buds since we’re down to our last packet of mulberries in the freezer.

    They are also really good in pancakes! Here in Massachusetts they are ripe in July. We often have guests for the 4th and would send them out to pick mulberries for pancakes.
