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.

Not to go overboard on the fall dandelions or anything, but last night’s fresh marinated dandelion salads came out so good and were so fast and easy to make that I figured I’d write up a short post about them. The recipes start out the same and then it is simply a matter of … [Read more...]

Holy Puffballs, Batman!

August 13, 2010 Erica M. Davis 6 Comments

Beaver pond at 12,000 feet, home of our puffball discovery.

All this rain is making the mushrooms come out—a connection I never made before since I’m pretty much a beginner with edible fungi. So, when Gregg and I took a long, off trail hike above our house to an isolated beaver pond at 12,000 feet, crossing an above tree-line meadow to … [Read more...]

Weird Clover Flower Soup

August 5, 2010 Erica M. Davis 1 Comment

Clover harvest - I took off the leaves before pickling and soup-making.

The come-down from my huge purslane processing of the other day has been harder than I imagined it would be, such that I have been remiss in processing the bag of plantain that Jim gifted me from Denver. I’ve been afraid to look but I fear it is decomposing in the refrigerator. I … [Read more...]
