How To Process Hawthorn Berries – Hawthorn berries can be found all over the UK from late August to November! Last year, I shared my homemade hawthorn gin recipe, and now I can actually taste the finished product, so I can confirm that it is delicious! It tastes like a very fragrant flower sherry and awakens my passion to find more hawthorn nut recipes. After all, this hawthorn fruit (another name!) is very readily available in the UK and doesn’t compete with many other fruits as it isn’t particularly popular, unlike some of the better known hedgehog fruits like blackberries. Hunters looking for the best places.
So, I did some research and put together an overview of various hawthorn berry recipes I found online. I will pick some hawthorn berries and give it a try! There are many recipes and ideas for what you can do with these versatile little berries (hawthorn berries are high in pectin, which is good news for jam makers!). Read about making hawthorn gin earlier this year…

Here’s a homemade hawthorn berry gin recipe. This is the recipe that first got me interested in using forage hawthorn berries. This hawthorn gin recipe is very easy and simple to make and is similar to fragrant sherry, but with a nice booze. Of course, once you make a bottle of hawthorn berry gin, you can store it for quite some time, and do a lot of different things, for example, hawthorn gin fizz or hawthorn gin tonic!
I also found this recipe: the spicy hawthorn and rosehip mead sounds amazing, but definitely more upscale. If you’ve made wine before, this may be right on your street!
Hawthorn berry ketchup is a raspberry recipe that you must try with this year’s hawthorn fruit! I found this recipe by Monica Shaw on the Great British Chefs site. It looks really delicious. She described the dish as “a sweet-and-sour sauce with a bit of spiciness thanks to a lot of black pepper.” Hawthorn berry ketchup goes well with rich meats like venison and pork belly. The hawthorn ketchup recipe is actually simpler than I expected and only requires a few ingredients. It’s a double winner!
Another way to use hawthorn berries is to make tea or herbal infusions. The recipe itself is very simple. For each cup of tea you want to make, take 1 teaspoon of hawthorn, add boiling water and let the hawthorn infuse for 5-10 minutes. Hawthorn berry tea can be served hot or chilled and then served iced. If you want to get a little more creative with home-made hawthorn infusion, you can add other herbs. Many recipes recommend adding cinnamon sticks and a little sugar or honey to hawthorn tea. Or if you really want to go wild, this recipe suggests combining hawthorn berries with hibiscus and lemon peel… mmmm…

Jams and jellies are hunter-gatherer’s friends. Almost always the surest way to use hedge fruit! But that doesn’t mean they aren’t great. Check out this hawthorn berry jam recipe or hawthorn jelly recipe.
Another lovely easy recipe is hawthorn vinegar, which is essentially an infusion of hawthorn berries into vinegar. Seems like a great way to make salads and dressings that are slightly different from standard balsamic products. What’s more, the new hawthorn leaves and buds are actually edible, so if you store hawthorn vinegar for the winter, you can also use it. With spring hawthorn leaf salad dressing!
Can you bake with hawthorn fruit? Sure. You can bake anything! Should I bake with hawthorn fruit? Hmm… Perhaps more difficult to answer. I’m not sure it’s a concept. But I’ve actually found quite a few recipes for anyone who wants to bake with hawthorn berries. See this recipe for vegan hawthorn cookies, this hawthorn cake recipe, or even this recipe for hawthorn rolls (similar to fig rolls but with hawthorn berries). ! It’s pretty creative, but fig rolls are the devil’s work, so it’s unlikely to try. If you’re not a fan of cakes and pastries, but still want to try the sweet hawthorn fruit, try this hawthorn fruit hide. Will try this this year. Perhaps because it is one of the best ways to bring out the true taste of hawthorn berries!
Did you know that hawthorn trees are large in China? The sentence can be read in two ways… And both are correct. A popular culinary ingredient is the Chinese hawthorn (crataegus pinnatifida)… whose fruit is larger than the common British hawthorn (crataegus monogyna). In fact, one of the traditional Chinese hawthorn recipes is this amazing candied tanghuru skewer. When you think of toffee apples, they are made from the giant hawthorn fruit. Using our tiny European hawthorn berries, I don’t think it’s particularly practical to duplicate this recipe (especially because it’s usually scooped out seeds and replaced with red beans). However, there are other traditional Chinese hawthorn recipes you can try. European hawthorn fruit… I’m curious about this hawthorn and pork rib soup, or this hawthorn berry congee.

It would be a loose idea to collect an entire collection of hawthorn recipes without mentioning the fact that hawthorn and hawthorn berries are often used medicinally. Many websites sharing hawthorn nut recipes say hawthorn is ‘good for the heart’ or similarly claim that using these hawthorn foods and drinks can provide significant health benefits. Hawthorn is actually traditionally used as a medicinal herb in both Western and traditional Chinese medicine.
But I think it’s worth being careful with this claim. Some scientific studies have shown that hawthorn has benefits for people with congestive heart failure, but other studies have shown no effect, and relatively little research has been done on its effectiveness, especially when prepared as home remedies as syrups or tinctures. in short; For the fragrant taste of hawthorn and the fun of eating and cooking with these delicious little berries, I think the best way to enjoy hawthorn is to use it for self-medication. As always, consult your doctor first if you plan to take any medications.

The rugged, sculptural hawthorn trees thrive along the winding corridors of our Sussex Holloway. Ancient silhouettes adorn our bushes and woodlands, croplands, arable meadows and pastures where sheep graze. You can easily find glossy red berries around this time of the year. Recently, at the crosswalk to Firle, I was delighted to find many blood-red berries that were bejeweled on the hedges that lined the bridles. I filled the canvas bag and escaped, leaving only a few nicks and scratches, pouring it on the table to dry and it was ready to use.
I have no habit of making potions at home, and my botanical knowledge is growing but still limited, but working in a professional botanical garden and writing about the botanical products we make here is starting to influence my thinking. After reading how beneficial the berry can be for heart disease, I started to become more interested in hawthorn. a month ago i reached
