Hi. You mentioned that it is not good to cut down a Hawthorne Berrie tree, but is it okay to trim some of the branches off that are overgrown. Many thanks Donna
In Ireland, that superstition still lasts, a motorway down to Cork was moved a few meters to the left in order not to cut down an ancient Hawthorn about 10 years ago. Sceach Geall in Irish, means Bright Tree….
Just purchased a property that has a bunch of Hawthorne trees so I'm going to have to try this recipe. As a beekeeper though, it hurts to see the honey boiled like that. I may try a small batch like that, but by heating the honey up that much, you kill all the natural enzymes and nutrients in the honey. It might be better to simmer down the Hawthorne puree with the lemon juice until you have a nice think, almost dry paste and then once cooled, mix with good raw honey. If you get the moisture content way down on the puree, the honey shouldn't ferment and, if stored properly, it should last a long time.
I also thought the heated honey part could be adapted... Or recommend rapadura)coconut honey. Collected 6 c of haw berries at my cousin's farm in NE tassie and got to the puree stage before heading to shoot off and catch my flight! X
That honey looks lovely, I’ll certainly be doing it, but to preserve my honeys good enzymes I’ll simmer just the hawthorn juice down and then add to honey. 💕
Fun fact about yew: the berries are safe to eat as well. You’ll just have to take care not to scratch the pit. This is in order to keep species who would hurt the seed from eating it and other species like birds who swallow the berry whole without damaging the seed safe. If you don’t feel safe eating the seed (I know I don’t), you can also just suck the flesh off it. It’s very sweet and jelly like.
Hello , i just moved to a beautiful rural area in the mountains of New Hampshire, USA. Today walking my dogs we found several hawthorn trees loaded with berries and picked loads of them. Thank you for this perfect video!
Such an adorable couple. Love your presentation and all the information from the seemingly trivial to the profound - it's all important. Thank you for your input into spreading such invaluable knowledge. You are the best!
Thank you so very much for the amazing information comparing the difference between the Hawthorne tree the Yew.. So much to say. I am so full right now. Thank you so mùch.
I love the hawthorn! ❤️ Made my first hawthorn ketchup last fall and it was so good. (Especially nice for me as I don’t like tomato ketchup!) Good for our hearts literally and figuratively.
Some lovely new ideas to preserve haws. Thanks. I make infused vinegar and a tincture with vodka...was also considering a jelly but honey seems much healthier 💚🌱💚
Thank you so much. We've been foraging lots of these beautiful berries and freezing them ready for trying different recipes. I'm also planning to make a hedgerow jam with these, blackberries, elderberries and crab apples.
Hi guys love your videos and have tried quite a few but wondered if you can make haws into a cordial?? would it be the same way you make a rosehip cordial??
Thanks heaps for this, we love your energy and positive vibes. My 11 yr old and I just learned heaps and can’t wait to try this recipe… we are in Australia so we’ll need to wait a few months fit the berries… we’ll go for the leaves in the meantime :) Loved all the historical scientific and folklore references too!
Mate, I love your videos!ive been eating nettle seeds and I’m f**kin’ flying... loved your Rowan video too... we have a massive yew tree by our house and I’ve been afraid of the berries , but there’s,s so many of them and I’ve heard only the seeds are actually poisonous... I’m hoping you’ll do a video, I bet there’s a ton of folklore too... keep it up can’t wait to watch more!!! THANKYOU!
Thank you so much for sharing such amazing knowledge. I just found you recently and I love how happy you are. I've just bought your book and look forward to receiving it 💜
Hi thank you so much for the video 🙏🏻🙏🏻🌷we eat those when we were young ,but now I live in Arizona I don’t think they grow here ,can people order from you when it’s time for them to ripe??? And where do you live?
Hi guys, could you please do more blackberry recipes if you can? I make crumbles and jams every year but would be really grateful if you could suggest otherwise. Thanks guys, love your channel and can't wait for the book! ❤
Definitely going to give this a try thank you. Made the sauce last year and making again this year, daughter wants a little bit of a kick in with the sauce this time so going to experiment with a small quantity of it with some spice so wish me luck and will let you know how it turns out. How's book coming along looking so forward to seeing and having a copy or two. Many thanks, love and peace to you and your family ✌️😊xxx😊✌️
Hi, thank you for a brilliant informative channel. I love watching you guys you always make me smile. I've actually got the confidence now to go out and forage to make lovely syrups and cordials....something I always wanted to try. 😊👍
Will need to get your book. You can also make Hawthorn infused gin, a bit like sloe gin. In the past I have made it but much prefer sloe gin, the hawthorn gin is a nice talking point if you have people over for Christmas. You make it in a similar manner to sloe gin but with one major difference, with sloes they can infuse in the gin for a long period of time but with hawthorn don’t leave longer than 6 weeks as the berries start to disintegrate and you get a massive amount of sediment. You can also try a mixed sloe and hawthorn gin for something a bit unique.
I'm in the northern US,, Michigan. I have two yew shrubs near my deck that have been fore 30 years. I tidy them up in the spring and fall, but they just don't seem to thrive. I wouldn't mind letting them grow into tree form. What do you think? (Sorry, I got distracted from the hawthorn by the yew😅
Seems the day after I take Hawthorne I wake up with fatigue and shortness and breath, I’m thinking it’s rebound as the blood pressure raises would it make a difference if I took it again before I go to sleep and in the morning?
Greetings from a little island in the Pacific Northwest US. My 6 year old just came in with a bowl full of foraged Hawthorn and has been making up her own tea syrup recipe. We were sooo inspired by your heart-felt video and vibes. Thank you for sharing your light and knowledge. Can’t wait to try the honey. Can it be kept out of fridge without a problem? According to some sources, honey prefers not to be cooked or refrigerated. Do you have a recipe for the ketchup available somewhere? It sounds ahhmazing as well!
Hi Sara 😁 honey dose prefer to be left alone, and the ketchup video is on our channel if you have a little scroll through our videos 🙂 Glad you are enjoying our videos with your little one 💚
Hey guys, thanks so much for this video, it was really helpful and easy to follow. I've just made it but I over simmered my berries.. I added a bit more water again before going through the process of making the syrup. I made it and it tasted delicious but I just wondered if I had ruined it by doing that?
Thankyou soo much, I have maybe 2-300 hanging over fences and knew good for heart but didn't know what to do with them. What's the easiest way to pick them?
Hi guys. We've just made Hawthorn ketchup. It's delic! How long does it last? Should it be stored in the fridge? We've made 3 bottles. Cheers. Great work BTW...keep it up.
The honey should not be cooked if you want to keep its healing nutrients. It may be worth adding at end then mix in at room temperature. Yum this recipe sounds great.
Does it matter what color the flowers are on a Hawthorne tree? I have a really old tree that has bright pink flowers and a few younger trees that have white flowers. Does the color of flower change the usage of the berries?
Lol 😂 all that for one jar haha. I wouldn’t boil the honey like that tho. But great video thank you you two are beautiful 🥰. I wonder if Nz has Hawthorns 🤔
@@homeiswhereourheartis well just makes it all the more sacred and probably worth more than diamonds in my opinion hehe. It’s the nature of preserving 🙏🇳🇿
Hi guys 🤗 A new subscriber here ! I’ve just made the Hawthorn Honey & it is beyond Delicious 😋😋😋 ! Thanks for the recipe 😊. Just one question - does it need to be kept in the fridge or would it be ok to store the honey in the pantry ?
I think as long as it's below a certain temperature. I usually use a double broiler for things like this and a candy thermometer to make sure I don't go too hot. I know this is forever after you posted this, but oh well😂
I have a few questions about this plant. 1) There are lots of different types and some of them look very different from the one in the video. For example, larger leaves, yellow and green leaves, or leaves with black spots instead of green leaves. Or different sized or colored berries or different tree sizes or the tree thickness or different colored barks. Are all the types of hawthorn edible? 2)Are there any look alikes apart from rowan or yew? 3)Do the berries mix well with other plants like rosehip? 4)Do they go well in baking and both sweet and savoury recipes? 5) Can you eat the berries raw?
Hi there, thanks for getting in touch. Your curiosity is brilliant. In would say be 100 percent sure that you have the hawthorn tree before eating any of the berries. There are lots of plants some of which are poisonous that have red berries like lords and ladies or some types of nightshade. If your in any doubt then leave the berries for the wildlife. Hawthorn berries are great in savory or sweet dishes as they have a fairly neutral flavour and yes you can eat the berries raw just spit out the stones. Good luck in your foraging journey ✌❤
@@homeiswhereourheartis Hi thanks for replying so quickly ☺️I have another quick question about another plant. Can sloe berries be used for anything apart from gin? Like to make powder or cakes? You can't eat the seeds so I think that's why gin is the most common recipe and after boiling them I think they get rid of the berry pulp, but if there was a way to easily separate the seeds and berries, that would be very good. Also I'm not sure if you have or not but have you done a video on wintercress/ yellow rocket or some of the plants that look like dandelion? Also are all plants with square stems and opposite leaves mint, since I see a lot of plants like that but they don't smell minty? Also I'm not sure if this is true but stinging nettles help with arthritis and one of the chemicals that are in its sting is serotonin. Have you heard of anything like that? I hope I'm not overloading you with questions, but this is the best foraging channel that I know so I don't really know where else to find this information. It's very hard to find stuff like this, I think because not many people know about it. Do you know any other good websites or things that also teach this stuff?Thanks

Great job explaining 👍🙏🙏
Great video! : )
Hi guys love your videos and have tried quite a few but wondered if you can make haws into a cordial?? would it be the same way you make a rosehip cordial??
Great video and with essential knowledge. Can we consume hawthorn leaves throughout the year, or only in the spring?
Only in spring because they are soft and fresh
You are both treasures! 🌿🌀🌿🌀🌿
Thank you 😁

I love hawthorn berries. The ones in my garden tend to ripen bit later in the season but as soon as they do I'll be munching on them.
Not long 😁
@@homeiswhereourheartis No, another fortnight or so. I can't wait 😊
You guys are so cute. I loved the video and really enjoyed the energy between the two of you.
Thank you 🙂
Sir, could you please give me the name also associated with the Hawthorn Tree? Is it a Crataegus ?
Crataegus monogyna 🙂
Thank you on showing me how to identify these. I've been dying to use these sinse I've heard they're good for strengthen the heart. ❤️
Your welcome 😁
Don't say dying words are powerful ❤️

Hi, if I make tea, do I need to remove seeds before drying? Or can they be steeped still containing seeds. Thanks
Thank you going to try the honey.
Made this today. It’s turned out really well. Thank you.
When you’re drying them to make the tea do you need to remove the seeds? Thanks
That's what I was wondering too
No, dry them whole.
Seems the day after I take Hawthorne I wake up with fatigue and shortness and breath, I’m thinking it’s rebound as the blood pressure raises would it make a difference if I took it again before I go to sleep and in the morning?
Looks very simple thank you.
When you dry berries do you dry them whole or do you have to half them to get the seeds out.
Dry them whole.
Thankyou,bigtime.x
😁
I wish y’all sold these things. Great video!
We thought of opening a herbal store but that's just a fleeting thought for now 😁
Good morning 😃 Where can I purchase the Hawthorn tree..I have been searching with difficulties.. do you sell or do you know who sells these trees?
Can you put it through a cold press machine to get the puree raw?
Thank you guys...❤❤❤🙏

Is frosted hawthorn edible? Can I make a tea with the berries?
With the dried berries, does the seed inside give off bad stuff in a tea?
I have thorn apple trees. Has darker blue berries that are bitter. I wonder if it is the same family?
I am getting 10 flowering tree from Arbor day foundation. 2 are Washington Hawthorns. How many years until it produces berries?
Thankyou soo much, I have maybe 2-300 hanging over fences and knew good for heart but didn't know what to do with them.
