3. Peanut butter stuffed French toast with chokecherry syrup.

[Wawannabe]

5. Hi

Did you make the syrup?

[Delmette2.0]

8. I helped my sister make it.

She makes it thick and just sweet enough to counter the tart.

This is nothing like the thin commercial stuff. There are so many hard parts for older ladies like us. One year we did 80+ pints in two days.

[Wawannabe]

9. Cool

I haven’t made it but have had it. Not many people know how to make chokecherry syrup. Let alone know what a chokecherry is!

[Delmette2.0]

10. You're right, few people know about chokecherries.

I have read the the Native Americans used them in their persimmon. I hope that is spelled right. It is the combination of meat and fruit and roots to keep them in food through the winter.

I have found that once opened the syrup keeps very well in the refrigerator.

Do you live near chockcherries?

[Wawannabe]

11. I don't live near chokecherries anymore

But have in MO and MT.

I think you mean pemmican. A persimmon is a fruit that is native to MO and they grow great big ones in Asian countries and those are the ones in the store.

I have read that berries were used in pemmican. I imagine a chokecherry was, as well as huckleberries and snow berries. I love to forage for wild food.

My farm in MO was 10 acres. There was 7 different kinds of wild berries growing there. I harvested 3 different kinds of mushrooms there too. I always had berries and dried as many mushrooms as possible and would make time during their ready times to go harvest.

No chokecherries tho. I had the syrup a neighbor made in MT. There were trees all along our road.

[Delmette2.0]

13. Yes! Pemmican.

I have always been able to confuse spell check. lol

You are lucky to have so many acres to enjoy.

[Wawannabe]

14. I was lucky for a time

Live on the west coast now. Ballard neighborhood of Seattle.

Divorced my bat shit crazy conservative ex of 25 years. Sold the farm!

[Delmette2.0]

15. I was lucky for many years to come back to Montana and enjoy.

My health is going down and I can't venture out much. But I have my small, close family near by.

I left my ex 34 years ago and never looked back. I'm glad you are in Washington. Montana is going the way of Kansas and Trump.
