“Shining red hawthorn berries.
Today is a day to pick them to add to my three stages tincture which already has the medicine of the leaves and blossom in.
This is a medicine for the heart and for connection to this wonderful and deeply magical tree.
Hawthorn also contains a large amount of pectin which makes it so good for fruit leathers, jams and to thicken sauces.
I adore to nibble these berries or haws as they are also known. They taste of avocado and apples”.
