Default Re: Cherry Of The Rio Grande

Yes, indeedy. Bake it into Choereg or Greek Easter bread and serve it to people. They will guess it's cinnamon but realize not quite. More depth with a very subtle but definite je ne sais quo. And it's not cheap--not here. Not sure how you harvest it but I suspect it's quite simple--take the flesh off and dry the seeds. I used to buy it in the DC area but people think I have 3 heads if I mention it in FL. But it and another are the most often rootstocks for cherry that I've seen. One man's trash...another woman's treasure.
