It's the Russian harvest day for Rowan berries! September 23rd was the day the rowan berries were considered sweet enough for harvest, and baskets of rowan berries were cooked into jam, jelly, confiture, kissel, wine, kvass, bread, pies, and candy. I'm sharing a recipe for Rowan Berry Jelly as it's probably the most popular use for its bittersweet berries and is beloved across Europe from the British Isles to Sweden. Its slight astringency makes it the exact right complement to rich buttery cheeses and fatty sausages. And I promise you, once you try it, you’ll never be able to serve a cheese plate without it! And considering it’s iconic status it seemed a good recipe for sharing today!
