 Now last fall what I ended up doing was putting together some videos Regarding pomegranates and how I enjoy pomegranates and it's one of the fruits that eat a lot up during the fall And I love fruits and vegetables that we get during the fall. They're amazing I find them to be super powerful and There's another fruit that I just came across that is on the same level as pomegranates for me And it's it's just two years ago that I came across this thing we were walking around the neighborhood and We hit up on this tree which this small branches with lots of red little berries on it And we found out that this stuff was called autumn olive and we had a little taste and it's super tarts Very tangy and we loved it. So we picked a whole bunch of the Bunch of the branches actually it was on someone's property So we went and knocked on the door and we asked them if it was okay for us to harvest some of their fruit And they said yeah for sure by all means Because it gave that means super abundant and they had already taken their harvest So we helped ourselves. We got a couple bags and you know, we munched on as many of them could and We ended up making jam as well and the jam is absolutely delicious. So good. So good So what we did is basically have went back last year as well and pick some autumn olives And we went back this year as well. And again, we knocked on the door and we asked them if it was okay to harvest some of their fruit They said yeah for sure by all means So we ended up Picking some of this fruit and I want to show you what we got just the harvest that we've got Now we ended up Picking twice as much as this because you know, we picked and we split we shared right and this is the drawer From from our fridge and this is how much we got in basically one picking And it's an amazing little fruit It's super powerful some like tons of vitamin c and a bunch of other things And it comes on a whole bunch of branches and you know, it basically grows like this with With the fruit just hanging on the branches and it gets heavy and the and the branches come down and You know, and there's tons of it. There's so much still left on the tree Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to pick it. There's only so much you could do, right? And there's so much of it on the tree and it's It's amazing. It's amazing with how much stuff you can get off this thing And I'm not sure if you can see this on the berries. There's like little White speckles, um, which gives it a very unique texture Uh, let me bring a couple more of these closer to you. Maybe you take a look Right It's an amazing little fruit and it's super tangy and uh, we basically ended up, you know, it took us about an hour to pick you know twice this And um, what I've been doing is basically every time I wanted a snack I just come to the fridge and whenever I feel like a snack. I just You know pull open the drawer and I take a branch like this And I just munch on the Munch on the berries. I just pick the berries out with my teeth I do sometimes use my fingers and you know, just Take the berries off like this and it comes off pretty easy. It's getting riper right now because it's It's been a few days since we picked it and this stuff just comes out And you know, I scoop it up and munch on them like that or When I don't feel like getting my hands all sticky because you do get a little sticky, right? um, I just basically take the They're sort of in bunches, right? So I just scoop up one of the bunches of my My mouth and I just uh take apart the The seeds just pull them off and they come off really easy Just one pull usually does the job super delicious Very tangy it's good to When you're eating these like this it's good to have some water around because it's um your mouth does tend to I mean, I haven't eaten enough for it to dry out yet, but My mouth anyway tends to dry out a little bit So when I usually get something like this You know, I don't eat the whole thing Just for a snack anyway, I tend to break it And take half the thing And just munch on that and since this thing It's been It's been a few days since we picked it and it was getting towards the end of the season. There are some on here which Are a little too ripe And because it's it's moist there is a little bit of mold Unfortunately grown in some of these so what we end up doing is just throwing those suckers away And all that means is well not the mold but when it gets over ripe it's just getting a Just alcohol content is going up as it's fermenting. So it's not really It's not really bad for you as far as I know anyway And it gives it a little pungent taste I guess but it is off some of the stuff When it's when it's super ripe where it's nice and ripe it's juicy. So it Actually takes the tanginess away when it's When it's become super ripe anyway And there's still some green pieces on here If you can see There's some still some green berries on there and they're like super tangy super tart, right?
