Cherry trees herald Spring, with their beautiful blossoms.With our warmer summers, they also provide luscious fruit, and with a full tree of cherries, it can be difficult to know how to cook and preserve them.This book provides the inspiration and with the help of the authors, you can enjoy the fruit through the summer months. Mulberries are more unusual and represent a challenge.Wild cherries originated in the Caucasus Mountains, and cultivated cherries spread from Rome, to Britain, and then to the USA in the 1870s. Black mulberries came from central Asia, reaching Europe via ancient trade routes.White mulberries came from China and formed the highly-lucrative and closely-guarded silk trade. Red mulberries are native to the USA and grow into remarkably pretty trees.
