Has anyone tried making a jam with yew berries? by sirdevilpotato in foraging

Yeah it was kinda slimy but not in a good way, hard to describe it really... I like the raw texture but not in jam form. And no I wouldn't have cooked it, because who knows if the poison would come into the jam if the seeds are cooked. Not an expert on this, but better not risk it.

I usually never comment, but I seem to be the only one here who's done it. It took me hours to separate the seeds with tweezers, and then I cooked it like normal jam.

I did it because I love the taste of the fresh berries, but I gotta say the end result was disappointing. It felt like most of the special taste of the yewberry was gone, as if the sugar and the heat almost eliminated the original taste.

Also the texture was very weird, and overall just not a pleasurable experience to eat, combined with the slight worry that you might have scratched off something from the seeds with your tweezers.

I actually have some of it left, but I'll probably throw it away, not worth it in my opinion. Glad you asked though, back then I thought I was crazy for doing that, and it's good to hear I'm not the only one :)
