Mayhaw
Mayhaw is the name given to the fruit of the species of Crataegus series Aestivales[2] that are common in wetlands throughout the southern United States.[2] Mayhaws grow in moist soil in river and creek bottoms under hardwood trees.Mayhaws are often collected out of the water from boats, and the fruit is used to make jelly.The fruit has also been cultivated to grow outside of wetlands, and this is increasingly the source of the jelly.Many communities associate themselves with the fruit because of its reputation as a celebrated delicacy of Southern U.S. cuisine.
