I'm in Houston this week, and have had very little access to the Internet.
My parents planted some mayhaw trees a few years ago; this is the first
year the trees produced much, and they had a bunch of mayhaws in the freezer.

Daughter juiced about 7 or 8 pounds of frozen whole mayhaws and made 2
batches of jelly using Certo, and we froze the rest of the juice. George
was kind enough to send me a couple of mayhaw jelly recipes -- one with
added pectin and one without. (And there was the mayhaw jelly recipe right
there in our Certo package. D'oh!) She juiced the mayhaws all by herself
and she made the first batch of jelly by herself using the first running
of the juice. Then we made a second batch with juice from squeezing the
jelly bag. Both batches are beautiful; even the one where I squeezed the
juice out of the jelly bag. The texture is perfect and the jars look like
watermelon jello. It oughtta win best of show -- not that I'm biased or
anything.

Barb sez we gotta keep 2 half-pint jars for the state fair next year.

Best regards,
Bob

So what do mayhaws look and taste like? Ellen
