Thanks for all the awesome information Alan!

I've made aronia wine and vinegar using vinegar mother few times. It's very interesting, because every time i make it there are left some sweetness, bet not from sugar. Even 3 years old vinegar, left in room temperature, is sweet. The same with vine. I make a lot of vinegars from berries and herbs, but no one has this taste. So, I use aronia vinegar for desserts. Maybe you know, why this happens?

How are you getting the stones out before you put this through the juicer.  I have a property with about 30 acres of these bushes.  I make juice and syrup each fall.  But I don't put them through juicer.  i process them with water and heat which means they are pasteurized.  I would prefer that they be raw but haven't found a method to get the stones out yet w/o heat

Thank you i will try this! I make aroniaberry lollipops they are my favorite. Now i have to get fresh again but i have about 32oz of aronia - sugar syrup if you want some lollipop samples lmk!

One of the more confusing wild food products on the market, aronia juice isn't something to drink with breakfast, at least not in it's pure form. 

It takes a whopping 7 lbs of fruit to make just 1 pint of juice, and the juice is thick, tart, astringent, as well as rich, fruity and interesting. Thanks to Superberries for sponsoring the video as I've been meaning to share this for a while now. They sell frozen aronia online. Foragers like my friends and I often harvest them from plants grown in landscaping. 

In the video I explain the differences between cold pressed juice and the "juice" foragers make with the fruit. I demonstrate how I make it at home, and a few different things I like to make with the fruit with a casual taste comparison between some different versions at the end.
