This is a new one for me. Earlier this year I bought two black chokeberry bushes as I rather liked the way the stems had been twisted together and thought they would look great in a pot. At the time they were covered with buds which later blossomed into white blossom and looked fantastic.
Been watering diligently and the white blossom has turned into black berries, (which also looks stunning). Loads of them. So I Googled recipes and found one which looked interesting so I gave it a whirl. It's an upsidedown cake and the batter part has equal quantities of flour and oatmeal. All the recipes mentioned how astringent chokeberries are, so I carefully followed them (which is unusual for me).
Had to try a slice and it was delicious, I don't especially like sweet things, so the fruit is ideal for me, there is a harshness to it, but the sugar that is in counters it well. Apparently it gets better the second day, time well tell, well tomorrow will, on that one. Had some leftover topping from a previous cake (soured cream, mascarpone and a bit of sugar) which married well with it. There's easily enough on the bushes for another one over the next week or so.
I've now decided to plant the bushes in the ground, with a wire support to hold them up, as in my experience, plants and especially fruit do better in the ground.
