I'm not sure where hawflakes come from...is there such a thing as a hawfruit? I usually see hawflakes as small round red discs. But at a supermarket I just went to, I found a jar of fruit labeled "hawflakes." They tasted and looked very similar to cranberries. Are they the same thing? Thanks

Haw flakes are made from the fruit (haw) of the Chinese Hawthorn, a member of the rose family. The fruit is pulped, sugar added and the results formed into the 'flakes'.
The hawthorns I am familiar with in the U.S. have a very small fruit, about the size of your little fingernail. they are a good source of pectin, and my grandmother would send me to the neighbors to pick pails of the darn things when I was little. Note the 'thorn' part of 'hawthorn'. the ones we had had thorns up to 2 inches long, so small agile arms were an advantage. Made good jelly tho.

No, haw flakes are a fruit, usually seen dried in Asian stores.
