Oh hold on then, how will I know if it's a standard Ash? And also, how do I know when they are ripe? |

Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) has red berries (ripe when red & softish)
Ash has winged seeds which fall as "Helicopters" If in doubt get a proper plant identification book and work through the keys. Don't just guess. |

Thank you MS. I'm good now I think. I just wanted to double check things and then Richard mentioned the Ash, which just had me doubting for a few. | ||

You're welcome.
You did say that you didn't want to poison the family - we don't want you to either |

Rowan berries make a fab jelly - see my article in the DS Articles section on Wild Fruits and how to preserve them.
Also my article on making jellies more generally. |

Just having a read now, Gil. The recipe I was looking at called for mixing the Rowan's with another fruit to make a jelly. If you just had a Rowan jelly, what would you have it with/on? | ||

Rowan and apple is good. It's particularly good in a cheese sarnie or with cold meat. | ||
