Hawthorn Harvest

1/10/2013

It's that time of year again, the wind is blowing strong and the leaves are falling in all their glorious colours to the ground. We're on the brink of change. We've celebrated the equinox and we're heading into the dark cycle of the year. Right now, though, there is still plenty of green and red. The berries are amazing, bursting with ripeness. I think it was five years ago when I was able to harvest blackberries. This year we have a super abundance.

I've been looking for recipes and ideas for what to do with this harvest. My shelf in the kitchen is ladened with fermentation experiments! I'm really taken with Hawthorn at the moment. It's an amazing tree. It is a medicine and tonic for the heart (google it!).

Here's a hawthorn berry heart tonic recipie: 2 cups of boiling water on 3 tablespoons of freshly picked berries, cover and let stand over night till noon the next day in a warm place, then strain. 1 cup taken with meals at least twice a day. Enjoy!
