Edible wild berries and fruits are everywhere, from the familiar blueberries, blackberries and grapes to lesser-known varieties such as pawpaws, highbush cranberries, serviceberries and blackhaws. Years ago, enterprising cooks used foraged berries and fruits to add variety to the family menu, but today, most of us don't know much about working with these less-common varieties. This book will give you many new ways to enjoy nature's bounty.
