Like little itty bitty apples these are. They make an excellent apple jelly. 😊
Eat the leaves? Who would have thunk it? I think I'll try that next spring.
Amygdalin, also called Laetrile, cyanic acid, hydrogen cyanide. A small amount is a potent cancer fighter.
Excellent video Karen!

Used to eat them as children, spit the pip out. We called them bread and cheese. 😊

Can you freeze haws or rose hips if you don't have time to process them right away?

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

Yes! Haws can be frozen up to 1 year and rose hips 6 months. Freezing temperatures break down the rose hips cellular walls, which makes rosehips sweeter and juicier.

I live in Northern Nevada and have 3 Hawthorne trees. I'm going to harvest berries after the first frost and try to make something out of them. I will for sure try drying the berries to use for tea. Any suggestions on the best/ easiest way to remove the seeds?

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

I know many people who dry them and make tea from the entire fruit. If that is something you are not comfortable with, then cutting them out - there is no easy way that I am aware of!

[@jasongCLJ]

Kind of like yew berries in a way ay ?
You dont eat the seeds so it takes alot of them for juice etc ay ?

[@leep4655]

👏👏👏🙏👋

[@seedy-waney-bonnie4906]

I'm not sure if I ever saw one of those trees.

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

Once many of the leaves start falling off and you see the haws - that is the best way to find them!!
