RE: Chokecherries: Beauty, Food, Medicine, Wine, Natural Dyes, Tree Propagation and More!
Wonderful in-depth and informative post @sagescrub! Nice accomplishment guys. Chokecherries were part of our pantry growing up. Grandpa would pick them and grandma would make her famous home milled flour pancakes to enjoy the syrup on. It's so tasty! And, such a rich deep purple color. Yum!! I love that you've used them also as a dye. That fruit leather looks wonderful. It's nice you found the proper tool to press out the fruit and separate the pits. Though if the pits are that nutritious would be great to process them enough to add back in to the final product. Awesome homesteading guys ❤
How wonderful! I am just discovering them these last few years. How amazing that your family has been enjoying wild food and passing that joy down to you. Home milled flour pancakes... i am jealous of your childhood memories!! That sounds good. I am going to plan on doing that this winter with my cornmeal :)
