4,560 so far!@casportpony .....just wondering about daily post count??
Here the black ones get cleaned out by the birds one or two days before they are ripe. You can also make a wonderful syrup or wine from them.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:

I have homemade hot dill pickles.This week is homemade.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say they're not what they normally are.@casportpony .....just wondering about daily post count??
Oh wow! It wasn't expecting that many.4,560 so far!
Unless your birds are different than ours, they aren't any left by the time it freezes.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.
Don't listen to Cindy on this.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?
And P.S. if it turns out awful I can always say I should have listened to Cindy and left them for fall LOL
You better me nice to that Northern princess of mine.Don't listen to Cindy on this.
I got to try a bottle of 20 year old chokecherry wine, It was amazing.Nah... they'll be fine as long as you add enough sugar. My (now very elderly) cousin used to make wine from them. Can you possibly even imagine picking that many wild chokecherries? I think there will be a lot of them this year, though.
personally i don’t think i’ve made 10 posts today4,560 so far!
