No one seems to have mentioned the Aronia berries. Another name for these is Chokeberry because they are highly inedible due to the amount of cyanide in them. What you have to do is the cook the ripe berries in a little water. Then put the mush in a muslin cloth and allow the juice to drip through, as in making a Jelly. Then discard the remains. We make a Chokeberry Jam from the sharp but pleasant tasting juice. A lb of sugar to a pint of juice.
