Choke Cherries
Chokecherries are the perfect choice for making jam, jellies, juices, tarts and syrup. While the Chokecherry may have a bitter taste, it lends itself to making a wide variety of flavourful products such as wine.
The Chokecherry gets its name from the fact that it can taste quite sour or acidic when eaten by itself. The berries take on an entirely different flavour when sweetened and used in various dishes.
The extract from the Chokecherry has more medicinal uses than culinary ones.
