Hello, never heard of Beauty berries nor have I ever seen jars like this before. This is what i love about your channel. I always see something new, learn something new and then go to your website and find all kinds of new things to try. Thank you so much for your video and have a wonderful day.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@PippyKatStamper]

Several years back I was in taking an art class in a quaint old town in north Florida. During our lunch break on the first day, I took a walk around the town to take photos of all the interesting architecture, beach, store fronts, etc... Something "reddish/purple" caught my eye at the end of an alley as I walked by. I turned around, walked down the alley a few feet and the entire alley was FULL of Beautyberry bushes!!! At the time, I had no idea what they were. I asked everyone I saw if they knew the name of the gorgeous berry bush and surprisingly no one knew the bushes were there!! Did some research when I returned home and discovered they were indeed named Beautyberries! Wish I had known about harvesting and making jelly at the time. I could of had a feast - LOL!! Thank you for sharing your expertise and reminding me how beautiful they really are!!

[@donnadickson9409]

We have beauty berries all over our property here in central Florida. They truly are a gift from God for us!

[@pattybrown8307]

Beauty berries grow wild EVERYWHERE here in South Georgia. Didn't know they were safe to eat! Thank you. 💜

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

They have many uses - from the root up! I shared some of the info in the article with the recipe, linked above in the video description :)

[@carolsferra3582]

wow......that is so cool!!!! What a labor of love....climbing a mountain to pick the berries!!!!

[@debbienielsen368]

I think I have several of these in my backyard! I hope it’s the same plant.

[@cbass2755]

I’ve never heard of them, or seen them before? Thank you for showing me! 😄♥️

[@TweetyBirdFan2010]

Yes! I would love to try them. They look beautiful 😍

[@kathyhughes7074]

Do they only grow in southern states? I live in MN. I've never seen or heard of them. I am a messianic believer. Was so happy to find you on you tube. Enjoy everything you do. Especially your Torah readings/teachings. Blessings to you. I'm just learning about foraging, tinctures, salves, etc.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Hello Kathy, thank you! Yes, they grow primarily in the southeastern US. However I do know you can find them at nurseries. They are generally hardy in garden zones 5 - 11, so I don't think they would be likely to survive your winters there.

[@bettytrotman2124]

Please do more videos like this from wild things. Would love to know how

[@JanTrewhitt]

What a lovely jar of jelly!! Thanks.

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Yum. Love your channel, newsletter & website. 😊 Blessings from my northern homestead to yours.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Thank you so much!

[@marthabell7027]

Looks delicious…..

[@kayeeiland4167]

Pretty basket ! Pretty jars ! Thank you for letting us keep you company !

[@staceyford6733]

@@kayeeiland4167 pretty pot.

[@thestickerfarm1254]

When I was a kid in upstate NY at Lake Ontario we had those kind of rocky out crops. Had to be careful when climbing around them because the copperheads liked to sleep in the nooks and crannies. I encountered one while exploring, scared the bejabers out of me. Didn’t strike at me, I was lucky. Be cautious.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Oh definitely! Never put your hands, feet, etc. where your eyes can't see first. We have copperheads and rattlesnakes here. Glad you were ok and didn't get bit!

[@jacquiesuper2200]

I have printed so so many of your recipes. They are all just delicious. I will go back and put my 5 star rating on them. Love your channel Constance. I wish I could find some beauty berries somewhere. Looks delicious.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@teresawommack5148]

Never seen these before, very pretty berry. Always enjoy your videos Miss. Arkansas. Hugs.

[@teresadaniels7207]

Hi Constance the botanical name for Beauty Berries is Callicarpa Bodinieri. It’s from the family Lamiaceae. Hope this helps. Great content as always. From Wales (UK).

[@arlenemiller8766]

Those are some really cute little jars!!! I love watching your canning videos. I no longer due to being older!!!

[@jeanburgin160]

Beautiful plant, nice to see you harvest them. Love the jars! Your alls pickles are beautiful! Oh ... lots of beauty berries. Great tutorial on making the beauty berry jelly! Many thanks.

[@havfaith67]

Oh my goodness! What a beautiful berry that is! 💜

[@bcarol2484]

Have beauty berry everywhere in my woods. Mamma deer bring their babies to forage. Good to know about the leaves being bug repellent. The jelly is just a bit too much sugar for our house. If I had clotted cream I might make an exception for my biscuits.

[@peggetennant]

A lovely jelly. I think it was worth the hike and the canning. I enjoyed this.

[@laurajeffcoat4731]

I have known about beauty berries my whole life but no one ever said they were edible. We were cautioned that they were poisonous. Again this is the reason I watch your channel Constance I learned something new almost every time🤗💓💕💞

[@vnickcolvin4971]

I didn’t know they were edible, shares for sharing 😊😮❤

[@bettyharper2214]

👍🎃🌻

[@pamelamcgee1634]

Sweet Constance, and, interesting!!

[@Yellowbanana2024]

God is blessing foragers this season😊

[@ladyblue9278]

These look beautiful ❤

[@thongbaichristian4256]

Hello from Rudy Arkansas. I'm glad I'd found your video. I have those berries on my land also, and I was wondering if I can make jelly out of it? Peace in Jesus Name! My husband and I also keep the Sabbath!

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Hello neighbor! I've been to Rudy a couple times :) Yes, this plant has many uses, edible and medicinal!

[@carolyn6290]

Hi Constance, I am so happy to learn about beauty berry jelly. I have a plant that is right by my fence, I did not know what it was. When I saw your video I ran out and harvested the berries, Thank You! I am making jelly today!

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

That's wonderful!!!

[@katel9378]

I love the pot you cooked the jelly in!! What is it? I bought my first Smithey because of your videos. I ended up with the griddle first. I haven't used it yet. Maybe this coming weekend...pancakes! I've had a miserable time seasoning my Lodge. It finally went into the black hole of the garage never to be seen again. I can already tell by the smooth surface that Smithey is the way to go!

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

I bought that pot several years ago, I believe at Home Goods. The brand is "Palm Restaurant." I am sure you will LOVE your Smithey!

[@Nenelovesyou2023]

Yummo

[@dancnluc1]

I have never heard of Beauty Berries. The jelly looks amazing. The jars are so cute.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Thank you :)

[@deltorres2100]

I was gifted a American beauty Berry last year. It’s still in a pot because I’m relocating and doing the garden so I haven’t figured out where to put it exactly but it does like the sun and where I have it on the side of my house right now it does like it, but I need to put it in ground because I want to get the canes to spread out for next year to have a better Might take a couple years for me to get a whole bunch to make some jelly But I was thinking, can you pull a stem and propagate it with some hormones or something maybe try that and then you can or if you can uproot that one that was closer by so you could put it in your garden area but somewheres sunny 🌱

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Here’s what I just found online specifically about beautyberries: Take cuttings: Choose a robust branch with a thickness of at least 0.6 centimeters (0.24 inches) that is one to three years old. Cut about 15 centimeters (6 inches) from the base to the middle (two to three nodes) in early spring or summer. Soak in rooting powder: Soak the base of the branch with rooting powder. Plant cuttings: Drill holes vertically in sterilized soil with a thin wooden stick to prevent the branch epidermis from rubbing directly against the soil. Plant the cutting and firm the soil gently.

[@SisofYHWH]

Wierd, I havent seen any this year. We had some beauty berry at our old house, the leaves are a bug repellant as well.

[@SisofYHWH]

Oops i should have watched all the way through before i said that lol!

[@annmarie3520]

I have a beauty berry bush I had bought at a visit to the Baltimore many years ago but the leaves are a lot thinner in shape.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

It may be the Japanese one. There are a few varieties.
