Just to pop back on topic for a while but I went down our old railway cutting yesterday to pick some of these and I have to say I'm not massively enamoured with their scent!
All the flowers were picked at above waist height (or above) but smell a bit like cat pee...? Are they an acquired taste these hawthorn flowers?
I've come accross a few Hawthorn Trees that are bursting with young unripen fruit (still green for this time of year). Having seen the recipe above for Haw Flowers, is there anyhting we can do with Haw Berries?
Should i treat them like Elderberries? Where's my CJJJJJJ book when i need it!
A quick google throws up many recipe sources but I've no idea how good they are. It certainly seems to be done by many though. All my fermenters are now booked out for bramble and elderberry season so I'll be sitting the haw berries out until next year.
