Chokecherry Jelly

$11.95

This jelly is made from the juice of chokecherries which grow prolifically across most of Canada. The raw berry is too acidic and astringent to eat, but cooking it with sugar destroys makes it flavourful, sharp but not sour. In Canada, it's been a farmhouse favourite for generations. Spread it on toast or use it in your cooking. Chefs frequently use it as a flavouring in sauces, gravies, and dressings. It can also be a tart filling or a  a cheesecake topping.

Finally!

At last, a chokecherry jelly that isn’t repulsively sweet. Almost as good as my Mom’s. I could make it myself, but too much work. So happy to find it on this wonderful site, they do the work, I can just enjoy it!

Choke Cherry Jelly

My Grandmother used to make her own homemade choke cherry jelly with berries we picked off their land in Huntsville. I have to say this is a decent second place, but it didn't quite have my Grandma's touch...still great product.

Almost as good as Grandma's!

When I was a kid, we would visit the family farm on Manitoulin Island. Next to the equipment shed was a whole row of chokecherry bushes, which my Grandmother would turn into jelly.

I've never seen it for sale anywhere but on the Island. I even asked the jam guy at St. Lawrence Market, but he's never even heard of Chokecherries.

I was so happy to find it at the Brickworks. The flavour brought back memories.
