I Think I Have A Mayhaw!!!

@Mini Horses the best description of the taste I can give you is that Mayhaw jelly tastes like a rose smells. @frustratedearthmother do you have a better description?

We have lots of native persimmons too! There are probably a dozen of them in that same pasture. With so many trees, it's dumb to call it a pasture, but I gotta call it something. There's elm, hackberry, cedar and oaks too.

Goodness, it's been years since I had any - but you're pretty right on. It's kind of a light flavor...but very flavorFULL! Think a very light mix of apple/peach/rose with the color to match! But mostly - it tastes like Mayhaw!

Here's an idea @baymule - Mayhaw WINE!!! I will gladly serve as quality control agent and will dutifully taste test every batch, lol!

We had a Hawthorn growing in our front yard in California. I remember every spring in early May the whole tree buzzed from the bees that clambered all over it-- they LOVED the pollen. Then every winter we would have a beautiful display of red berries- about the color and size of pyracantha berries. We would be visited by a large flock of Cedar Waxwings for a few days and then.... no more berries.

Well, I am disappointed to report that my tree is NOT a Mayhaw. I am certain that it is a haw of some kind, but not a Mayhaw. Wah.

Maybe you will find another "freebie" out there!

I probably have to break down and buy a couple of them.
