Thread Name: BS: Any Birch Berry Recipes?
Subject: RE: BS: Any Birch Berry Recipes?
I just gleaned 25 ounces from the branches I pruned yesterday. I should have picked them as I went; a lot of ripe ones fell off and got mooshed on the ground. I pruned high enough, to get branches off the shed and drooping ones out of the way for mowing, that now I would need a longer ladder to pick many more.

My wife couldn't eat anything with as much sugar as needed for the jelly recipe; I don't know if splenda or some such will work in jelly or not. At the moment I'm thinking, rather than get into canning jelly for no more than we would have, maybe we'll just stomp 'em for juice. She can sweeten that with splenda, and I can either drink that or use sugar in some for myself.
