Wild fruits can be harvested at almost any time of the year.
In this photo gallery you will find varieties that can also be canned or processed in other ways.
Not only birds are enthusiastic about these delicacies: Edible wild fruits provide free vitamins and minerals from the field, from the roadside and from the forest from summer until the first snow.
If you keep your eyes open, you can harvest all year round and process and preserve the fruit – since it is usually very sour, bitter or inedible when raw.
But it doesn't always have to be jam or jelly.
Depending on the variety, the fruit also tastes good as pure fruit pulp and even pickled salty or sour.
The wild fruits can be frozen and partially dried.
Preserved in this way, you can enjoy them later on bread or in hearty dishes.
