Black Haw Conserve
Herbal Recipe
A conserve is a jam made of fruit stewed in sugar and this black haw conserve is very healthful and appealing.
Ingredients
2 oranges
1-1/2 quarts black haw berries
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cups sugar
Directions:
Slice oranges into very thin sections removing seeds. Cook slices in water until tender.
Clean and stem berries. Place into saucepan and crush with a masher (do not use a blender as it will pulverize the seeds). Strain crushed berries through a strainer or food mill to remove the seeds. Add the juicy pulp to the cooked oranges and mix well.
Add cinnamon, lemon juice and sugar. Mix thoroughly and simmer over low heat till sauce thickens. Allow to cool for a few minutes then put into hot, sterile jars and seal.
