Black Haws
Black haws are a little purple fruit that grow in clusters on attractive bushes of the viburnum family. I have a picture here of the blossoms - they are in bloom right now in the woods along our driveway.
I found a page that gives some recipes for using black haws. According to my research, there are two types of black haws, and I am not sure if they are both suitable to use in recipes for eating. One thing I have developed over the years is a reluctance to use anything wild that I am not absolutely sure of!!!
