Wild Rosehip Candy Spread

September 30, 2010 Erica M. Davis Leave a Comment

Wild rosehips ripe for jelly-making.

It was supposed to be wild rosehip jelly, but it came out more like candy spread. Dip a knife into it and the goo remains attached by a long, sticky strand, and when you serve yourself some “jelly” and then put it away and take it back out again, it’s all settled back down like … [Read more...]

Two Variations on Marinated Dandelion Salad

September 27, 2010 Erica M. Davis 2 Comments

Marinated dandelion salad option 2 involves French dressing.

Jellies and Jams, My Currant Obsession

September 15, 2010 Erica M. Davis 5 Comments

Juicy black currants ripe for the picking.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, I absolutely love making jellies and jams!   Mind you, this is a complete about-face from how I felt about them yesterday, especially after Gregg read aloud the brochure that came inside the box of MCP pectin and it said we had to “Measure ingredients … [Read more...]
