If you've been to gas stations and gift shops in the Midwest, chokecherry syrup, along with wild rice is a very common thing, especially in the Northwoods. Commercial products are usually made with corn syrup and pectin, and both of those are unnecessary.
A lot of people still can this at home and it's one of my favorites to make. Many small fruits can be substituted or used in the same way, especially sand cherries and black cherries. Pin cherries have a tendency to gel when cooled as more individual cherries (stones) are used compared to larger varieties like sand cherries.
Use it anywhere you'd use maple or the flavor of cherry. As I explain in the video, I use it for both sweet and savory dishes.
Growing up in Saskatchewan, Canada, these are a staple berry/cherry for preserving! Taste of childhood on the farm 😊 They also make an amazing wine!!
Wow, I'm glad this video popped up. My chokeberries are lovely and ripe now and I've only thought to put the stuff over porridge and I'd like to add it to my Zucchini bread next time I cook some.
Ya it's very tart fruit and sugar... Less sugar I would water bath it just in case but if you use it up don't worry about it too much
I add apples at times like my crab apples
I grew up with a crab apple tree and black cherry trees :) you find a way to bottle that flavour :)
My favorite choke Cherry or black cherry syrup has less sugar than jam
I like it on duck, rabbit, bear etc with rosemary
Good tip it can take forever for them to actually break down
Acid probably breaks down the skin better
Love this! Thanks!
I do the old school method with my black walnut syrup. The cherries are having a bumper crop here in southern MN.
Hi from St Paul. I’m going for pin cherries and sand cherries on Mon. Yes, very good year for cherries it seems.
@@foragerchef4141 nice! Red Wing here!
Thank you! ❤
I made chokecherry jam last year and the color and smell were amazing.
Do you know how to remove seeds from the chokecherry mash? I only had partial success and only 1/4 - 1/2 of the berry mash made it into the jam
You can try a food mill but using a strainer and a silicone spatula or scraper works the best IME.
My juice is full of pulp, I want to still use it for syrup. What do you think ??? :)
That’s fine
How long do you leave the jars upside down? Until it completely cools? Or before that? Have a hot batch upside down now, thanks for the recipe.
Until totally cool/room temp is what I do.
Instead of sugar can I use honey ?
Could i use 1/2 c of vodka if i dont have white wine vinegar or regular vingar?
You can skip it. Add a tsp of lemon juice to each jar before you can it in a water bath.
Thank you for your quick response! I'm excited! Making tomorrow 🙏🏽
Thx, David Mpls MN.
Vinegar, how much?
The recipe is in the link in the video description, just like every other video I do.
A proportion of sugar???
The full recipe’s in the link in the video description, just like every other recipe in this channel.
I usually boil my syrups to 219 F which is a maple syrup thing... not sure with vinegar in it though...
It’s not an exact science here. You could take it to 219 if you want.
Do you have link or recipe to make your cherry vinegar. Thank you our choke cherry just about ready to get ripe. N Idaho
@@maryestherhooley9851 Hello. Yes the link in the video description will have that. Or Google “forager chef fruit scrap vinegar”.
