Don't you think it would be really interesting to make wine at home? Homemade wines are as good as the ones purchased from the market. It could be a great task to ferment them and see them grow old as you do. Here is how you can make chokecherry wine at home.

I'll admit the name "chokecherry" doesn't exactly get your mouth watering. Anything with "choke" in the name sounds like trouble. The other common names bitter berry and bird cherry aren't any more appetizing, but chokecherries are not

To us Idahoans, huckleberries are a treasure. My family enjoys this recipe a lot, and I serve it as a special treat when we have guests. —Pat Kuper, McCall, Idaho
Varieties of huckleberries are commonly found in areas of the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Find Southern varieties in forests and swamps, while the Northwest huckleberries thrive in clear cuts or former forest fire areas. Similar to blueberries, huckleberries are crunchier and sweeter in taste.
This simple chokecherry jelly recipe comes together without storebought pectin for an easy wild foraged preserve. Chokecherry jam (or fruit butter) takes a bit more work, but it's another possible variation.
Tasty chokecherry jelly recipe.
Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. It's where all the fruit is. – Shirley MacLaine Chokecherries or are they chokeberries? Photo: withrow, Flickr ccl Have you ever eaten chokecherries and some are sweet and others make you pucker up like you ate a lemon? There’s a reason for that. Not all choke”cherries” are chokecherries. "Huh?" you are saying... Flowers, leaves, bark all look the same... Photo:pchgorman, Flickr ccl I never knew this. There's chokecherries and chokeberries. They look pretty much the same, grow pretty much the same, but their taste is substantially different. Chokecherries are usually sweet. Chokeberries are the ones that give you a "fuzzy" mouth. I thought it had something to do with where they were growing, like the soil pH or the amount of available water. I was wrong. Prunus Virginiana versus Aronia Prunus virginiana (chokecherry) is a species of suckering shrub or tree native to North America that grows to about 5 m tall. It is found almost throughout the continent except for the Deep South, Labrador and the far north. The fruit are about 1 cm across and range in color from bright red to black, with a very astringent, sour taste. The very ripe berries are dark in color and less astringent than the red berries. Let soak in sugar and vodka for 1 month. Chokecherry leaves and branches are toxic to horses, and moose, cattle, goats, deer, and other ruminants (animals with segmented stomachs). Cyanide is released into the leaves when they wilt, such as after a frost or branches have been broken. Cyanide makes these parts sweet. Chokecherry is a favourite fruit to make homemade wine in wide parts of Canada and the United States. Aronia (chokeberry) is also a suckering shrub or small tree growing to 5 m tall. The fruit are about 1 cm across and range in color from bright red to black, with a very astringent, sour taste. The very ripe berries are dark in color and less astringent than the red berries. (Sound familiar?) Juice from chokeberries is astringent (pucker inducing) and not sweet, but high in vitamin C and antioxidants. The berries can be used to make wine, jam, syrup, juice, soft spreads, and tea. In The U.S. chokeberries are added to juice blends for their color and antioxidant properties. The red chokeberry is more palatable and can be eaten raw. It has a sweeter flavor than the black species and is used to make jam. Press out as much vodka/juice from the berries as you can. Chokecherries and chokeberries are very high in antioxidant pigment compounds, such as anthocyanin. I hadn’t a clue about all this when I went picking choke”cherries” for liqueur. So this is decidedly a blend. You will note from the recipe that there’s an inordinate amount of sugar used. I would suggest I had more berries than cherries. One thing I do have to say is that you can taste no alcohol at all in my finished product. At first I though I had forgotten it, but I never would have let it age on the conter for a month without it. Without any discernible alcohol taste...c’est dangereux ! Chokecherry Liqueur Yield: two 375 ml bottles 2 cups chokecherries, chokeberries or a blend 1-1/2 cups white sugar* 1 pint (375 ml) vodka 1 cup sugar 1 cup water Wash a 1 L Mason jar and lid. All ready to go after one more straining. My labels are available for free download here. Pick through the berries for stems and rinse. Discard any that are damaged or otherwise undesirable. Add the berries and 1-1/2 cups sugar to the Mason jar. Pour the vodka in over the berries. Seal tightly and shake well. Let stand for 1 month in a shady place, shaking the jar on a daily basis. Over the month you will notice the berries become engorged with the alcohol. A the end of the month, bring the berries just to a boil in a saucepan. mash them while this is happening. You’re trying to break up the berries as much as possible to extract the maximum juice without damaging the pits (which are toxic). Strain a few times until fairly clear. Bring the remaining sugar and water to a boil and let boil hard for 5 minutes. Combine with the infused vodka and bottle. * If using all chokecherries you will want to reduce this sugar. Taste your fruit. If they’re sour add it. If not, cut back the amount. ........................................

As a young girl I remember my mother making syrup once the chokecherries were ripe. We called it 'supsil'. I didn't always enjoy picking the berries but oh my I did love the syrup. My favorite way of eating this is to dip fresh zwiebach in the syrup. A bit messy but so worth it. It is also wonderful on pancakes. This syrup makes great gifts. 4 cups chokecherry juice 3 cups sugar Place whatever amount of chokecherries you have in a pot, cover just barely with water, bring to boil and simmer till the berries are soft. Mash berries, potato masher works well. Strain berries in a large sieve pressing down to get pulp with the juice. Whatever amount of juice you end up with, adjust sugar accordingly. 1 cup less sugar than juice is the ratio. Bring strained juice to boil, add sugar, bring back to boil and boil for 15 minutes stirring occasionally. Pour into sterilized jars or into pretty decorative bottles. Keep refrigerated. Yield: 4 1/2 cups syrup
