 If you live in the PNW there might be fucktons of oregon grape (Mahonia aquifolium) around, looks like a holly bush growing blueberries. They are edible! They taste absolutely dreadful off the bush but they're kind of like cranberries, if you just add sugar you will unlock a secret delicious flavor. I like to make and can jam/jelly and syrup with them every year. Don't ignore this noble plant, the raw berries might make your face turn inside out but the cooked and sugared flavor is lovely. Im not sure why they aren't farmed for food, they're easy to grow and can produce overwhelming volumes of berries

Harry Potter on Ice posted:I'd like to share one of my favorite books on trees (or it was years ago I should re read it and see if it holds up!) Specifically redwoods which have a lot more going on than I originally thought. They are so incredible, someday I'll go bushwacking and find the really big ones. Looking forward to finding new books here yall like I kinda just threw berries, water, sugar, and pectin together until stuff was tasting good but this is a decent instruction. I didn't add lemon juice like they did because the berries are plenty acidic on their own but you do you. As for sugar, I do agree you should add it to taste, everyone likes different stuff, but itll take quite a bit to become palatable.
