Hawthorn Syrup instructions
- Clean and sort haws. Discard very dry or blemished fruit..
- Cover haws with fresh water and bring to a boil for 10 minutes.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour until fruit turns yellow and becomes tender.
- Mash fruit and strain to remove pulp and seeds. (Hawthorn, like apple seeds, contains amygdalin which releases cyanide when digested) so make sure they are strained out..
