    Excellent video, Arthur. On my way to look for some choke cherries. One suggestion for next time: show more of the entire plant and how to recognize it. I have books and will use them, but it would have been a nice addition.

    No, they contain a carbohydrate called Prunasin. It is broken down in the body into various compounds, such as hydrocyanic acid. Note in the video that this compound is largely rendered inert through the traditional processing methods used by the Plains Indians. Best wishes.

    I thought I had myself a chokecherry Bush but it has thorns could it still possibly be a chokecherry?

    Hey Arthur
    So I gave this a go. When crushing the seeds you can definitely smell the strong almond smell that indicates the cyanide compound in question. I dried mine overnight in a dehydrator and the smell went away but the finished dried leather still had a strong almond flavor. Is this how yours tastes? Or does drying in the sun make a difference in how those compounds break down

    choke cherry jelly is awesome

    I would think the crushed pits would make the fruit leather unpleasant to chew. How finely do you grind the pits?

    I remember reading something at least 10 years ago about apricot pits and almonds and others from this same family and the compounds being thought to actually fight cancer. Wonder if you had any knowledge of this. It was a cyanide type compound.

    Are the seeds still toxic at this point?

  • @charronfamilyconnect

    Hi there, Is there a reason why you didn't dry this faster in a solar oven? Is it because you dont want to kill they enzymes? Also have you ever extracted the juices from a chokecherry and just discard the pulp to the composter? Thanks!

  • @GossamerJedi

    Thanks for this Arthur. What are your thoughts on eating these berries fresh as to their toxic effect and what are your thoughts on the heat from, say making jam and canning, or otherwise cooking with them (but not drying and processing first)? Or would you say they must be processed as you show before then cooking with them?

    Can I make leather if I have already steamed my choke cherries and just have juice?

    Brahmabile, my fingernails are kept quite short. You must be referring to my partner's fingernails, who gathered some choke cherries in the video. It is quite customary for women in the US to keep longer fingernails.

    A blickey made from anything other than Pinus strobus? That's so 2011 Arthur. Seriously though I'm glad you made this video. Now I can try processing choke cherries on a stone (without the splatter effect) and in the sun. Last summer I used a Vitamix and a dehydrator for most of what I collected.

    What did you call the wearable container? A blicky?

    Can anyone tell me why my choke cherry juice turned pink instead of that deep red.

  • @americanslime

    Arthur, are you aware whether or not this can be done with Black Cherry (Prunus serotina)? The annoyingly curt ethnobotanical reports I've seen seem to suggest it can but have been far from definitive.
