Hawthorn Berry Jam

This recipe is a wonderful, low-sugar way to incorporate hawthorn into your daily diet. Hawthorn is one of the most well-known and respected herbal heart tonics, with a long history of traditional use for supporting cardiovascular health.

As a tonic herb, hawthorn has traditionally been enjoyed regularly, especially as we age. Making jam is just one of the many ways to bring this wonderful plant into our daily lives, along with hawthorn tinctures, syrups, oxymels, and teas.

I suggest enjoying 1 to 2 teaspoons a day, either on its own or added to your favorite oatmeal, toast, pancakes, or whatever sounds good.

Although we often think of hawthorn as an herb, it is also a wonderful herbal food that can become part of our daily nourishment and long-term wellness practices.
