A fall for rosehips

October 3, 2014 Erica M. Davis 3 Comments

Soapberry Pepper Jelly…A First on Several Fronts

September 14, 2010 Erica M. Davis 7 Comments

Soapberries, aka soopolallies, plus one small bug.

My mother always told me not to eat wild berries I found growing in the woods, and I have long heeded her advice with the exception of easy ones like blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. That is, until recently, when I found a guide to wild edible berries at our local … [Read more...]
