Traditional Wojapi:

Fruits–Wild Choke Cherry, plum, sand cherry, currant, buffalo berry, or grape. All wild, all found on the Great Plains.

Recipe: Ingredients — Fruit, Wild Corn Flour, Honey

• Mash fruit, boil pulp for about one hour at low heat, strain through a cheese cloth type cloth, (This first cut is used for fine jelly)
• Boil again for an hour, remove seeds and half the pulp, add a white sauce of water and flour to boiling fruit and water. Thicken and add honey to taste. (This second cut is wojapi)
• Crush seeds and remaining pulp, boil for hour. Strain juice and add thickener, salt and a small amount of wild honey. (this final cut is meat dressing or BBQ sauce)

There you have it.

You can substitute corn starch for wild corn flour if you have to. Sugar or reg. honey for wild honey. Will taste different and won’t be as natural or nutritious, though.
