Please don't run chokecherries (or any stone fruit) through a grinder unless you pit it first (which is virtually impossible with chokecherries). Note: I have not tried this recipe, but do make chokecherry wine. For a fruit that is generally unpleasant to eat, it makes great wine, jelly, and syrup. You can even make a pretty fine table wine with the right recipe and a traditional wine making procedure.
