They are everywhere, yet I never noticed them. They are red w/ little gold spots on them. The leaves are green on top, silvery on the underside. Each bush tastes different, so taste the berries from the bush before you pick. One might taste like apple, blueberry and the one right beside it will be sour, tart.

My Grandmother made it with apple juice and I was told the reason she did that is because we live in Colo and it helps to get it to setup better. Because pectin is made from apples? I have never made it before but my father was raised on it so I decided to try to bring back some memories! What kind of apple juice do you use?

I didn't follow the recipy for the sugar amount ( thinking it was to sweet ) and I don't think it will jell. I was told that after 2 weeks I can re-do the Jelly. The trick is, How????

Ben has read about them in his recent researching while reproducing his new e-book on wild edible plants. Although, I am not sure the new e-book refers to them as chokecherries.
