sugardetoxme 9yr I'd love to know what to do with mulberries. Maybe a homemade granola? -
SimplySeema 9yr Love mulberries! I love adding the fresh ones into homemade raw chocolate. It's a delicious sweet surprise. Imagine it would be great mixed in with nuts, cereal or even cookies! What are your ideas @JenniferEmilson? -
JenniferEmilson 9yr I've only ever had them fresh. These have a slight crunch, like figs. I'll either use for granola or porridge topping, or else I'll reconstitute them in safer for baking. -
DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr I've never had these but if they are anything like figs, maybe try microwaving to soften and then mix with dates and nuts? -
wheeler 9yr What the what are dried Mulberries? -
JenniferEmilson 9yr They are the dried version of fresh mulberries, a berry shaped kind of like a blackberry. Dried white mulberries are high in iron, protein, vitamin C and fibre. Loads of people just snack on them. I'm trying to decide what else I can do. I think soaking in water to reconstitute is a start!
-
DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr Ah so good to know. Will find them
-
garv 9yr @ JenniferEmilson Poach em in wine & drizzle on vanilla ice cream. I'd imagine it would tasted good in an oats & mulberry cookie too! @SimplySeema mulberry + chocolate , very interesting !
-
JenniferEmilson 9yr Love love the idea of poaching in wine over ice cream. Or even an anise liqueur maybe... I like where this is going...
-
garv 9yr While you are at it , poach it in wine with a few spices : cinnamon , star anise & clove maybe. Strain , throw is some nuts & you have an adult sundae !

DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr This is magic happening right here
-
wheeler 9yr @garv sounds a bit like Mulled Wine. Could you do the same and drink the wine afterwards? 😉
-
JenniferEmilson 9yr Now that's getting wintery cozy. For spring what about some elderflower liqueur or cordial and thyme or mint, Reduce to make a syrup and add pistachios? @garv @wheeler
-
garv 9yr @wheeler of course you can but why not savour it with some ice cream & save some mulled wine for later!
-
wheeler 9yr @garv I CAN HAS IT ALL? 😳
-
wheeler 9yr @JenniferEmilson I think Foodstand just imploded with that comment. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 to build on that, I make cocktails and the idea of having a multi-layered syrup based on dried mulberries blows my mind
-
garv 9yr @JenniferEmilson I like!
-
SimplySeema 9yr @garv yes mulberries inside frozen 100% raw chocolate is so delicious! I remember it tasting a little like a coffee donut. I like the idea of mixing it in with spices & wine or ice cream... Yum!!!
Taking the last of my fave melon, cucumber, mint and pineapple and popsicle'd them!!

Switching up tabbouleh thanks to the Zahav cookbook! Keep the dressing separate and this salad will last for days!

AnitaD Great tip. I make salads in big batches so I can scoop them into a smaller container for lunch with the dressing on the side.

Brianne pomegranate in any salad is delicious! I've started deseeding my own because it is so much more affordable to buy the pomegranate whole. I just slice in half, pull away the edges, and whack it with...

JenniferEmilson Sounds exactly how I do it! @Brianne
Fruit just past its prime, but still taste good? Agua Fresca it!

-
JenniferEmilson You can do this with melons, or berries, anything that can be pureed easily. Add as much water as needed to get the consistency you like, plus lime juice and some sweetener depending on the...
