π When is it ripe?
American elderberry: Blue-black berries in flat clusters; cook before eating. Ripe when uniformly dark blue-black and heavy. Also note: elderflowers in June are edible raw and excellent for cordial.
Pawpaw: Green skin turns slightly yellow and gives like a ripe avocado. Custard-like, mango-banana scented flesh inside. Falls at the slightest touch. Very short shelf life β refrigerate and eat within days. Found throughout eastern North America.
Serviceberry: Small, round, turning from red to deep purple-black. Sweet and blueberry-like when fully dark. Birds eat them as soon as they ripen β check daily. Best fresh or in pies and jam.
elderberry: Dark blue-black clusters when ripe. Cook thoroughly before eating β raw berries are mildly toxic. Ripe when all berries are dark and clusters hang downward.
