So I’m planning my October cider batches and I just stumbled upon a shrub called Autum Olives / Autumn Berry / Silver berries. I didn’t know about these (invasive) shrubs before but I have access to one laden with edible and astringent berries. I’m thinking these might be great at adding to my hard cider!

So, I have the following thoughts and questions:

1) anyone ever used these or heard of anyone using them?
2) they seemed ready to harvest to em. I assume I can just go pick the, squish them, strain them, and then freeze the juice until I’m ready for cider. Any thoughts?
3) how is it best to use this with cider? Just add to secondary to taste?

Any advice is appreciated!
