   As with many fruits, Hawthorn doesn't give up its flavor until after it 
is cooked.  We (Brambleberry Farm) made jelly from it offering it for sale. 
Sadly, no one bought it.  Minnesotans tend to not buy unknown foods which is 
unfortunate because Hawthorn Jelly is very delicious.  We tried giving 
tasting samples but many customers refused to taste it but, of those who 
did, they bought it.
