Does anyone have a good jelly recipe (Hector maybe?) for cornus mas.
In particular Im wondering if their is any kind of prep I need to do to
slake the astringency from the fruit. Also Im keen on finding a
version that is eastern european in origin. We've been searching
romanian sites & find a number of manufacturers for cornul jelly but so
far no old family recipes. We had a great year & the birds so far seem
not to like them. I was shocked to visit the Olbrich Gardens arboretum
in Madison WI a month ago or so & see that they had 25 year old trees
lining a long walkway, planted as a very high hedge. They were loaded,
there had to be 100s of lbs of fruit hanging & I'd be willing to bet no
one does anything with them. ~mIEKAL
