Out at the farm, my Mom, Grandma and I pick two full buckets of chokecherries. My Grandma then expertly shows us how to make syrup out of them- and how not to!

This is awesome! Your grandma looks like my neighbor Betty 😅 she always gives us a pot full of raspberries it was so lovely nothing compares wild berries, this is growing in our yard abundantly so I started harvesting a whole years worth.

Thank you for this low-key calm video. I just got some chokecherries and wanted to see how to process them. Thank you

I have used this video for two summers now that we have chokecherries. It's the closest thing to making CC syrup in my mother-in-law's kitchen. Thank you❤

What a wonderfully wholesome instructional video with the loveliest people demonstrating! I'm planning on putting in a chokecherry bush or two in my suburban lot and hopefully one day I can make some delicious chokecherry syrup too.

Thank you so very much for making this video! I've been wanting to try to make chokecherry syrup, but have been a little intimidated until now. Watching your lovely video made me feel like I was back in the kitchen with my own beloved grandmother. I'm now going to go and give it a try. Thank you again!

You're very blessed to learn this from your grandma, I've seen many YT videos were they waste half the juice doing it wrong. Ive found at garage sales etc the berry sieve most people don't know what it is. First did this when I was seven. Best tasting jelly and syrup on the planet.

That makes sense; it's an unusual process so I can understand why people get it wrong! And Yes- I am very grateful to have my grandma to teach me all of her secrets! 😊

What a lovely video. Reminded me of cooking with my dear Mum back in the day. She too didn’t measure everything, just went by the look and feel of things. Today I’m bottling up some hedgerow syrup here in the UK and I will be thinking of you girls. Ros x

I've eaten chokecherries raw since I was a kid. Only the black ones though. If they are not completely ripe they will leave your mouth feeling either completely sucked dry of spit or weird.

Wow, really?! I must have only ever tried them when they weren't ripe enough. I'll have to try them again, thanks for the tip!

In the intro you were saying how disgusting they are to eat right off of the tree. Haha! What a princess. They are fine. When they are ready for picking, and a nice plum color, they are delicious! As kids, we ate mouthfulls of them when picking, and spit the seeds out ... just the opposite of consuming sunflower seed, where the shells are spit out. Sure, they make you pucker, but they are still plenty sweet enough to eat fresh. And so good for you!

If we can keep the birds away, we found they test best after the first frost. They become sweet on their own then.

I was going to attempt chockcherry jam, but I love this idea even better. Over pancakes, waffles, ice cream, desserts 🍨
@onceuponaglobe4 жыл бұрын
Yes! It's great as a syrup. What I also do with it is put some in a small bowl, then dip toast with butter on it into the syrup (so you can sort of eat it like jam too!).

This is a great video! I am making my first batch (my Mom used to make jelly and syrup). I love syrup in homemade Greek yogurt which is dead easy to make. I can't wait to use my berry sieve which I bought on Facebook marketplace. Thanks for the video. (From SK).

How well does your berry picking device work? It looks pretty good, but you only showed it for a second.

It's amazing. The only downside is that it strips leaves off as well sometimes

Can you use a steam juicer to juice these? It's the same process to make apple juice, grape juice etc.
