Greetings Hibernating Fruit Addicts! Aronia Melanocarpa; black 
Chokeberry....awesome as a fruit wine adjunct.If you try to eat it raw, your 
mouth will slam shut for a week, and your eyes will close. However... in the 
right amount, it can be terrific. Take a quart or so of the berries, steam 
them so they get soft, beat the hell out of them in a blender and extract the 
juice using a cheesecloth. Slowly add a small amount to some apple juice. 
Pour some in an apple pie's like . Add a little to a boring jelly recipe. It
Chuck the skins and seeds. The juice is the prize. Murph
