Yes,I remember gathering them as a child to do this very thing. It was a lo=
t of work but the kitchen smelled heavenly while we were boiling them down,=
and the berries were not hard to pick. There were loads of them in Lingan i=
n the church yard,until they cleaned it up in the '80's. Cheers,=0AMargaret=
