I live in Saskatchewan Canada... I collect the berries with a stick and a tarp or upside down umbrella... lay out under and whack the branches... the berries fall into tarp.. just a thought .. cheers
The one's by me had way less berries than whichever variety you found (they're all planted afaik). We just pluck them off the branches by hand. The one's we have aren't that sour at all either. Tried brewing beer with it and it ended up quite well
I need to find Buckthorn! Would love to see you do some leather. Wonder if it would involve the pulp and skin too? A windy day would be good to separate the leaves and berries. Pouring from one container to another. Thank you sir 🐕
I would have to delve back into my herbalism books to find the answer to this. You could certainly tincture the berries, and it’s the berries that are talked about, I don’t recall the leaves being mentioned. Worth an investigation though 😊
Thanks for the video, I might try a fruit leather not done that before. I’ve made sea buckthorn sweet chilly sauce, sea buckthorn, apple cider vinegar and honey as a tonic, put it to steep in gin and vodka also it’s nice with just some tonic water or could use soda water. Some ideas if you haven’t tried these 😊
