Rowan berries

Beautiful light and colours.

Thank you so much, Jaap!

a beautiful shot! do you eat these berries??

No! Too bitter - but old farm ladies used to make jam with them. Thank you, Gabi!

Beautiful berries, but now I've read the notes on your other image I'll decline your invitation. :-)

Completely understandable, George!

I will also decline the invitation to a taste test..........but I will repeat that these berries look amazing! I bet the birds love them.

Apparently they make a good liquor too...........here's a recipe I found (but haven't tried):

Word of Caution: When rowan berries are picked in the wild, they contain high levels of parasorbic acid, which can actually cause kidney damage, indigestion, and a range of other illnesses. However, once frozen or heated, this acid changes to the beneficial sorbic acid, which our body finds very useful. Therefore, don’t go out picking wild rowan berries, make sure you properly prepare them first to get the most benefits!https://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/fruit/rohttps://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/fruit/rowan-berries.htmlwan-berries.html

No worries here, I took one little bite and spit it out. Tastes horrible. Edible only when cooked, as you note, though I don't know why anyone would bother these days. I think rowan berry jam was a only homestead woman's specialty - along with buffalo berry and chokecherry jams! Birds love them and seem to survive them - hence the dark red splats all over my car every fall!

a catching eyes !

Greetings and thank you, Nora!

anything red is delicious

Not these - hah! But pretty to look at! Thank you, Sonia.

je t'ai répondu Diane et pas de réponse pour le groupe ? je suis ok !
bisous

Oh, Angelique! I am so sorry. I have been sick and forgot all about the group. I will transfer it to you tonight - I hope I can do it correctly! ;-o

Happy and peaceful Holidays, Diane!

Thank you, Berny, and a belated happy New Year to you!
