Last month I gathered about 4 quarts of chokecherries. These were pleasantly sweet with bitter overtones and they made a great jam. Of course, the jam had lots of sugar, and I had to add pectin to get it to jell. I am hoping some of you have other ideas or bush recipes for this wild fruit.
I was told by someone who is quite knowledgeable that Chokecherry is unfit for human food, which totally confounded me. Still, this person knew it was used extensively by some Native Peoples.DSCN0741.jpg
