Today’s foraging run was all about the chokecherries! Many of the trees are only half-ready to pick at this time, but others are fully ready, some Pin (red) and some Black. Some bushes put out tiny berries, but most of them are putting out really fat, plump berries this year! We actually need more leaf than cherry this year, but I’ll make more juice concentrate and syrups with the berries we bring home just the same. We have quite a bit already dried from previous years that we haven’t worked our way through yet, so no need to dry them…
