    Rowan

    Rowan is a member of the ash family and provides blossoms in the spring and orange-red berries in the autumn.  Both blossoms and berries have notes of bitter orange and almond, and the small immature flower buds can be infused to give an amaretto like flavour.  The berries should be cooked and sieved as they contain an inedible stone, but once cooked it has a woody bitterness that makes an excellent jelly for savoury foods.  Its high vitamin c level and super antioxidants help explain why it protects against “evil, the devil, witches, death and disease”.  A super food indeed.
