Just about anything can be boiled with sugar and ingested it seems. http://www.google.com/search?client=...rd+sugar+jam+r ecipes&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Bill -- Garden in shade zone 5 S Jersey USA |

That thing was huge (the f. bush.) I think the birds liked the berries but that's about all they were good for. I'm pretty sure the birds planted it. Bob |
