🔍 When is it ripe?
Common juniper: Berries take two years to ripen; look for plump, blue-black, waxy berries (not green or unripe purple-brown). The white bloom is natural. Used as a spice for game and gin — 2–3 berries per dish. Do not confuse with toxic yew berries (red with a pit, no bloom).
Staghorn sumac: Deep red, fuzzy, cone-shaped seed clusters. Ripe in August–September. Soak clusters in cold water for 20–30 minutes, strain, and sweeten for pink 'sumac lemonade'. Very high in vitamin C. Do not confuse with white-berried poison sumac (wetlands, white berries = avoid).
