Rowan


Walking this evening in the forest the Rowan trees, Sorbus Aucuparia, created bright points of orange red colour amongst the deep sea of greens.  Rowan berries are edible, very tart, high in vitamin C and are traditionally made into a jelly to accompany meats. I thought I'd try a berry to see how tart they were and peeled back the skin. Well, the berries reputation for tartness is not misplaced, it was like putting your tongue on a 9 volt battery. How I giggled.
