I decided the other day to try making Nocino using I ripened black walnuts with the addition of spices and sweet woodruff. After discovering that my “spot” to collect the walnuts was no more my fellow foraging friend pulled through for me and graciously shared some of his black walnuts with me. These will go to rest in a cool dark place for the next month until it is time to strain and add some maple syrup and water, then the tannins need to mellow out for roughly another six months. I hope this turns out. Thanks again Rick Irwin.

Oops…..I may have gotten a little something on me as I enjoyed nibbling and collecting these delicious mulberries. I wonder if I have enough to make something….. 🤔

Mullein, I believe it is on the invasive species list. And I can appreciate why. I will post my videos next. However invasive this plant is, it is still medicinal. The flowers and flower buds I plan to make an ear oil to treat any kind of ear pain my kids have.

Delicious if I do say so myself.

🌿 It’s Garlic Scape Season! 🌿

One of the best parts of summer has arrived! We have Garlic Scape Butter and Garlic Scape Pesto in the market, lovingly foraged and handcrafted locally by Found Foraging.

Garlic scapes have a mild, sweet garlicky flavour that adds a fresh twist to so many dishes. Toss the pesto with hot pasta or pillowy gnocchi, spread it on sandwiches, swirl it into soups, or serve it with grilled chicken or fish. The garlic butter is incredible melted over a perfectly grilled steak, brushed onto corn on the cob, or slathered on warm savoury scones or fresh bread.

Stop by the market and pick up a tub while garlic scape season lasts!

The garlic scapes are never ending, my own fault. Whipped garlic scape butter and garlic scape pesto. Heading into the freezer for a taste of summer when the hankering arises!!! Some might be gifts to others as well.
