As you may or may not know, Hannah's off the Square is located at 111 W. Mulberry Street, just a stones throw from the Downtown borders of Elm, Oak, Hickory and Locust streets. I have to guess that there are obvious reasons why the city's founders named these streets after certain trees, even if those reasons sadly no longer exist.
However I am happy to say that there are three Mulberry trees on the grounds of Hannah's off the Square, one of them being very old with gnarled twisted branches, defying new developement
and currently host to thousands of mulberries.
Over the years, I have made jam, tarts, ice cream and muffins for Sunday brunch from these mulberries, and they never dissapoint. I am looking forward to some rustic mulberry galettes this year, with good weather and a bit of generousity from the birds, we should be eating mulberries after a long day at the Jazz Festival.
