We have usually gone up to Desolation Sound in July, but one bonus of our July plans getting shot this year was learning that in August manzanita berries ripen and, though dry, actually taste rather delightful. Tart & sweet. I managed to convince the 8 yo to pick a few while we were packing up camp

A speckled beige & green pottery bowl I made on a counter with some orange to ruddy manzanita berries in it. It looks like it is called, little apples. #wildharvesting #manzanitaberries #manzanita #apothecary

and now I’m kicking myself we didn’t pack more because apparently it makes a lovely cider. Years ago my husband made rosehip wine that was really good, and these taste better than rosehips to my palette, so defs will have to try. Maybe we have enough to flavour some apple cider. Hmm 🧐 🍷
