How appropriate is this!? Today is National Mead Day.. I buy mine from Silver Hand Meadery in Virginia. There was a local place here in Vermont that used to market their mead, but they're no longer in business.

I've never had salal berries. What do they taste like?

Happy Mead Day!

If you eat them off the bush they taste like a combo between a blueberry and applesauce. If you cook them into jam and add some sugar, it tastes just like blackberry jam without the seeds.
