Please be sure to go to the 18 minute mark to find out how to get your free book!!
Thank you awfully much Karen!
@@notmyworld44 Thank YOU!!!!
I love that you're celebrating a number of videos you've made rather than a number of subscribers like so many youtubers do. You're celebrating something you have done, accomplished, rather than just popularity or what the algorithm favors or just luck. 200 videos is something you chose to do and have control over. Such a good attitude.
Also cool to award prizes based on engagement rather than just randomly to people who watch this one. I didn't make the cut but much respect to those who did!
Oh my thank you!! I have goosebumps with your very kind words. I will be doing this again - perhaps at 250 - so keep on commenting and you may make the cut next time!!!! And thank you so very much for being here - I am truly grateful!
We had tons of chokecherries where I grew up in Quebec in the sixties... Mom made lots of jelly every year, and I even made a batch of *really* good wine one time!
Congratulations on video 200! Wishing you the ability to make many more! ❤ 👍
Your mom is an amazing woman!!! Thank you so much - - your words touch me! Next goal is 20,000 subscribers - and almost there!
@@EdibleWildFood-1 That was a lifetime ago, and both Mom and Dad have been gone a long time. But they left some really good memories! I'm sure you'll get many more than 20,000 subscribers! Best wishes to you and yours!
@@kbjerke Thank you!!
I was just walking yesterday and made a short video about chokecherries. I have never made anything out of them, I think I will try. Ours in Wisconsin are not really sweet, but more like a nut flavor, and your mouth can feel a little dry after eating them. I have eaten the seeds and spit them out too all of my life, and I am 68, but as a precaution to others, it was only a few seeds I ate, I like the flavor of them too..... now I have less teeth, lol. Thank you for the fun video!
Thank you for sharing that!! You have 6 years on me - not much!!! Thanks for being here!
Where I live there are some growing on the ATV trail. It used to be a rail bed so we know it's government not private land so we were free to pick them. I got so many. Walking back to the car was a struggle and we only picked the ones that were easy to get. I'm going to make a ton of jelly on my next day off. I need to get new lids tomorrow for my jars.
Nice!!
Choke Cherries make FANTASTIC JELLY. My mom made wine with them, actually I'm not sure it was wine tasted more like a cordial. We had the Eastern type.
Very cool video. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you!!
You are welcome!
I have never seen these in central Mass., but will definitely explore some new trails to find some.
Now I am worried - did you get notified that you were tagged in the comments? I was wondering if it worked or not.
@@EdibleWildFood-1 I am not sure what "TAGGED" means. Is it some sort of offence on UA-cam? Oh, I forgot to CONGRATULATE you on your dedication to educate people with this survival information. TWO HUNDRED and going strong. You must be so overjoyed to have such success. God Bless and keep creating your amazing content.
@@jojow8416 Oh my - UA-cam is not allowing me to highlight your username! Go check out the pinned comment at the top!!!! And THANK YOU..... I am thrilled. God Bless and I will!!!!
@@EdibleWildFood-1 Now that is so strange because for the most part I only leave comments on a few sites, mainly yours and a few Christian sites. I guess I upset one of their algorithms.
@@jojow8416 You have been an active commenter on my channel and you are one of 5 who gets a free copy of my mushroom book!!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Our choke cherries get quite purple when ripe. I guess they would work as well as Elderberries for making tonic? I’m a new subscriber from Alberta. 🤗🇨🇦
Yes - it would be pretty much the same. Welcome to my channel and I hope you enjoy my vids. I am grateful you are here! Hopefully it is not too terrible hot there! I am in southern Ontario and we have had some intense heat here too Being near the Great Lakes - the humidity sucks!! lolol
Wah cherry yang sangat lebat.... Cantik sekali merah2 disana
If Google translate is correct..... iya itu mereka
I just recently found you and your videos. Fantastic ! I so appreciate the thoroughness of information. Your style of presentation completely satisfies my thirst for the facts.
Oh my - thank you so much. I am touched! And thank you for being here!!!
Thank you for wonderful vdo ❤
You are most welcome and thank YOU for watching!!
@@EdibleWildFood-1 🥰
I have Chokcherries at my property ...many years I was wondering how to use this beautiful berries 😂 now I know...thank you again ❤
@@countryliving9414 Awesome!!!
We have the Prunus serotina (black) wild cherries that you showed here in northwestern Arkansas, but if we have choke-cherries I've never noticed and/or not aware of them. The Prunus serotina proliferate in our rural areas, and the farmers here (mostly livestock) fear them greatly because the leaves ARE fatally poisonous to their animals. I don't get out in the woods as much as I used to when I was much younger and stronger, but I used to eat handfuls of the Prunus serotina with the thin-shelled seeds. The fruits are very sweet, but the seeds contain a lot of the cyanic oil, which tastes like almond extract. That substance is also known as Amygdalin, and is purportedly a powerful cancer-fighter. I've never suffered any ill effects at all from eating the whole fruit, but perhaps it's because of a promise in the Bible which I take quite seriously - Mark 16:17.
I mention amygdalin in the video I just posted! I enjoy eating a couple of apricot seed kernels once every few days - I believe this is healthy - and yes... many swear by them to help treat cancer.
@@EdibleWildFood-1 Yes! I just now saw that one! Apricot seeds are illegal on the open market, but I order them from an online store that has the same name as a great river in the Amazon jungle. One commenter on UA-cam said you can safely eat as many as 20 per day, but I'm not recommending that. Awfully bitter. Best in highly sweetened smoothies. 🙂
@@notmyworld44 I agree - they are bitter - but I feel a couple here and there is fine.
Thank you much !
If i see some of those (here) i think i would try to remive pits from all of them and then ..make something.. not sure. It wouldnt be alot though.
Im wondering about these dark cherrie trees around here . . and if buck cherries are good to eat . i forgot.
If you gave me a Latin name I could help you - not sure what buck cherries are.
@@EdibleWildFood-1
I will try to identify them
Try an orange cake recipe, swap all orange components for chokecherry!
Chokecherry minus the seeds!! :) Great idea though! I still have chokecherries in my freezer so I may try that!!
Yum! Can you share your recipe to make the jelly? Thanks’
I did - - the link to it is in the description box!
Can you make beads out of chokeberries
Would you recommend growing this in a suburban garden?
Depends where you live - as they can spread a fair bit!
@@EdibleWildFood-1 hmmm okay, I might rethink this guy!
