Hawthorn Bush....CRATAEGUS Sp

Just some pics I took of the Hawthorn Bushes in full fruit.
Most are along fence lines of farms and properties
The small haw berries are medicinal and make jam..I made some...still alive
Apparently the medicinal properties relate to cardiac disorders of nervous origin?
They contain triterpenic acids and flavinoids
In China they are sold as dried berries
But anyhow they are abundant now and BRILLIANT RED..like little crab apples

Recipe for Golden Wattle Pancakes (B Larkins Lake Tyers Beach Vic)

Beat 2 egg yolks and one ounce of melted butter (sorry for the imperial)
Add 1/2 cup of milk
Add 1/2 cup of flour
Add 2 cups of Golden Wattle Blooms - stems removed (the larger pom poms are best but any wattle will do)
MIX well and lastly fold in stiffly beaten egg whites
Drop spoonfuls into a buttered pan and fry like pancakes
They have a nutty flavour
