I have heard of the Pilgrims making candles by boiling berries to get the wax to float to the surface. Is this possible? How about with Chokecherries?

stop being stanky.
chokecherries have a waxy surface, so yes I would say it would be possible. but you’d probably have to boil bushels of them to get the nessicary wax
I looked it up and couldn’t find anything on it, but i personally don’t think you could!
Hope this helps.
