The hawthorn bush, also known as thornapple, is native to temperate North
America, Europe and Asia. The sweet but tart dried hawthorn berry is used to make
condiments, snacks and liquors in many world cuisines, from the traditional
"mayhaw," jam of the southern US to Mexican candy and the Korean alcoholic
beverage known as sansachun.
Use the whole berries to make jams, jellies or
custom tea blends.
