My mom used to make chokecherry syrup and jelly. It was sooooo yummyThis is a pic of a few branches of one of our chokecherry trees - there are two red-leaved ones the birds have cleaned off and they are ignoring the fruit on the ones with green leaves, so thought I might see if I can get decent jelly from them:

Yum! I've never made it, but I'll bet it'd jell without even any pectin. I need to go out and get some this year--after it frosts. IMO they're just about inedible until they've been frosted. Afterward, the bitter edge is softened and the amazing flavor can come through.This is a pic of a few branches of one of our chokecherry trees - there are two red-leaved ones the birds have cleaned off and they are ignoring the fruit on the ones with green leaves, so thought I might see if I can get decent jelly from them:

By any chance do you have her recipes?My mom used to make chokecherry syrup and jelly. It was sooooo yummy
NoBy any chance do you have her recipes?
Oh really? Hmm, it's months from frost here, I'm not sure they would last that long. Maybe I'll gather enough to try a recipe or two and leave the rest on the trees?Yum!

I believe it does need pectin. Otherwise you get (very tasty) syrup.Yum! I've never made it, but I'll bet it'd jell without even any pectin. I need to go out and get some this year--after it frosts.

Mom didn’t wait for frost so I would go ahead and try it now before the birdies steal them.Oh really? Hmm, it's months from frost here, I'm not sure they would last that long. Maybe I'll gather enough to try a recipe or two and leave the rest on the trees?
I don't even like the water.I grew up in FL and I NEVER understood the beach thing.
"It's hot as hades. Lets all go walk around and lie around on hot, white sand, and hey! You kids don't go in the water by yourselves. Build a sand castle! Wouldn't you like that?"
I love the water, though.
Seriously? All we ever found was seaweed and bits of shells. No one even littered. Been a long time, though...
Not unusual. Mom married a pilot and never flew her whole life. Dad literally flew all over the world more than once.I don't even like the water.
the ocean kinda sorta scares me
It's a shame I married someone with a master diving license.
