HARVESTING AND PROCESSING

Watch for the formation of flowering clusters, with a berry at the end. Pick as needed as the berries begin to dry out and, before each winter sets in, collect the ripened fleshy fruit stalks, dry and store in big glass screw-top jars. The stalks can be made into drinks. Tinned or dried Japanese raisin stems and fruits are available in Asian shops (do not mistakenly buy a tin of ‘jiguja’, which is an alcoholic drink made from the fermented fruit stalks). The strong, fine-grained wood from the Japanese raisin tree is harvested to make furniture.

CULINARY USES

The sweet, juicy stems are used in confectionery and pickles, as a snack food, in sweet-and-sour sauces, and as a delicious tea.
