    Hawthorn

    Hawthorn, or May-tree, is plentiful along the roadsides and verges of Rhynie, often used as hedging along fields.  Although named after the month it blooms, the sweet and musky scented blossom flowers in June in Rhynie, and the flowers can be used to flavour cordials. The red berries can be harvested in the autumn, cooked and sieved, and made into a ketchup. The berries, high in pectin, also make an excellent jelly if mixed with other fruits to add flavour.
