You can make medicines from the flowers, leaves and berries. The berries you show on the photo don't look like UK haws, but you may have a Canadian variety. As well as all the hawthorn tinctures I've made this year, I've also made a hawthorn berry spiced liqueur, hawthorn vinegar and a hawthorn spiced cordial. They all taste really good! When you get back to Ontario, or even before, get someone who knows their hawthorn trees to identify them for you.Sarah Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08975928642943693605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265619041443079240.post-13597175605056554822009-10-29T19:19:30.801-07:002009-10-29T19:19:30.801-07:00Just think in a short time you and hubby will be s...Just think in a short time you and hubby will be strolling on the Main's farm collecting neat stuff there.

I wouldn't know for sure unless I saw the bush/tree. But they do look like the ones I have here at the farm. We use ours all the time and have for years, we make our own cranberry sauce from them or I use them with apple sauce to make a apple/cranberry sauce. Nice to get and walk isn't it, I love doing that too.
