johnsbrewhouse We have seen a few on our game cameras the last couple of years, if I see one during the day he’ll be gone.
bocephus Don’t get me wrong, I will shoot them or snare them as well, we have a bounty on them here to control the population. They are scavengers and don’t roam really large areas in order to find food unless they are starving, then they prey on what they can get, cats and small dogs look just like small game.

johnsbrewhouse Yeah, Coyotes are just doing what they are supposed to do, people arent doing what they are supposed to do by feeding them!

Finally was able to make some jelly. I have had these in the freezer for 2 years. 12 half pints of chokecherry jelly and 7 pints of chokecherry syrup. Still have about 4 gallons of chokecherries left and 2 gallons of sand plums. Just ran out of time today.

ND Mike I love chokecherry syrup, my mom used to make it for me, now I have a wonderful sister in law who gives me a pint every year for Christmas. It is from my mom’s recipe.

ND Mike I hoard mine, don’t even share much with my wife. Use it on waffles and pancakes but thought it would be great on ice cream.

That’s quite a bit of work. We have chokecherry trees and sand plums all over the place around here. We used to make wine and jam out of them, some good stuff, but a lot of work.

Dr_Pain lol…come on up! It gets colder than hell up here though!

YooperDog my son is interested in getting his hands on some Chokecherries to make wine. Its something we have never tried, but sounds like it would be good.

GWG8541 this year wasn’t a banner season for them here, there were still plenty. I think a late spring frost did some damage. Birds like them and they will stain anything they land on. Like jam and syrup, wine is a bit tedious, need to get rid of the pits. It will take some tweaking to get the flavor profile you like. I would suggest doing one gallon batches to work your way there.

YooperDog so are chokecherry seeds poisonous? If so, how are you all processing the fruit?
