Sorry – I have pretty considerable cooking resources, but can’t find what you’re looking for.  I find references to cookbooks that say they have black haw recipes, but I don’t know what kind.  I try not to regard a recipe as proven until I’ve tried it myself.  Nafex members do seem like a good possible resource.  I’m sure there’s someone out there, though not apparently on this list, who has developed recipes like the ones you’re looking for.  I’m pretty quick at recipe development, but lack of the main ingredient is a bit too much of a challenge…

 

Good luck!

That might be useful at some other time, but at the moment I need proven recipes - no time for developing new ones. Besides the fact that I don't have a ready supply of the fruit. Ironically, I have what is supposed to be a large fruited type, but there's no pollinator for it, so I've never had a crop to verify the fruit character.

If you want to develop some recipes for black haw, since they have a somewhat figgy taste, you could start with recipes using chopped figs.  If in making, say, fig cookies, you find that the black haw mixture looks drier than a fig mixture would have, you could moisten with applesauce. 
 
I could see using them in muffins or pancakes, but I have the impression they would lack the brightness of blueberries or raisins.  Not a problem – balance that by adding a bright flawor, like lemon and/lor orange rind – those are commonly added to figs for the same reason.
 
I think you could come up with some very good recipes.  I’d try here, but have no access to the fruit.
