"challenge the chefs for this cherry misunderstanding? The blossoms have petals, not fruit". Perhaps the writer should also be challenged. All fruit trees have blossoms which need to be pollinated to produce fruit. Yes some are planted for there blossoms rather than there fruit but they still produce fruit.

Wild blueberry jam from The Jampot on the Keweenaw peninsula in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. These monks make the greatest wild fruit jams and we are addicted to the wild blueberry. The cookies are excellent also, but I think the cakes that are soaked in liquors are overwhelming.

Holy wah! You definitely need rutabaga in pasties, dere eh. Also I love to eat them raw after the first frost as this brings out the sugar in them

I use this one from the sopranos cookbook. Its quite good, just use a pot you can brown the meat in and make the sauce in like a dutch oven.

I second the Mario Batali recipe. Stripped down to just 4 of the best ingredients you can find plus salt and pepper.

Mmmm snow taffy is one of my fondest childhood memories. We always made syrup so we use it in everything: sweet rolls, sweet potatoes, ice cream, on cheerios, in brines, bbq sauces, most anywhere you would use brown sugar. I'm not a baker though so I don't substitute when baking. If you can find maple cream, this is a great spread, especially on warm fried bread.
