A writer to the Vermont Tribune says
that excellent jelly can be made from
the choke cherries which are so abundant
just now. Prepare as you would grapes
and add little apple if desired. As they
are quite sweet little less than the
regular rule for sugar will do. There is
no trace of the quicker" which is SO OBJ
jectionable when eating the cherries.
Southerners have long used them and it
seems wasteful not to do so. The jelly
is said to have the flavor of the plum.
