Summer fruit canning & Prunus tomentosa bushcherry
I take my word back. I do like bushcherries. I was upset this spring in
that several of the bushes were turning to a scary yellow instead of the bright green. But this year some of those bushes gave me some excellent eating cherries. They are half way as sweet as a sweet cherry and much better eating than the sour cherries. But the flesh is too small compared to a sour cherry. I finally concluded that I will continue to propagate and raise more bushcherries. I am in another full swing canning operation for this summer. Although not as much as last year where I canned over 300 liter jars of assorted fruits and tomato and pickles. I need tomatoes for spaghetti and for thousandisland dressing. I need pickles for hamburgers and tartar sauce and thousandisland dressing. I found out that I liked applesauce better than apple chunks. I did the chunks because they are faster to can. But this year should do more applesauce using the blender. I found out I liked cinnamon with the applesauce and a batch of ginger applesauce. This year was overabundant in fruits and expect most of it to go to waste. But this year should have some plums to can which I did not have last year. I am keeping my total number of cans fixed at 300 liters for I seem not able to eat all of those 300 liters throughout the winter. Sour cherry canning is going great this year in that the trees are super abundant and few are wormy. I like to mix sour cherries with strawberries and juneberries and gooseberries and currants. A mix is better than straight sour cherries. I need to work on getting raspberries and grapes into the orchards but for some reason of this climate those do not do very well. I forgotten the chemical in sour cherries that is supposedly good for cancer thwarting. Anyone know the acidity of sour cherries and whether it has more vitamin C than lemons and oranges?
