May apple
Though poisonous when green, the yellow, egg-shaped May
APPLE can be safely eaten after ripening. This member of the barberry family is about the size of a large cherry. It's lightly sweet and acidic and makes very good preserves. The May
APPLE is found in the East but is rarely available in markets. See also
