What a day! These herbs, berries, fruits, seeds, roots and mushrooms are in the process of being transformed to an autumnal banquet of recipes for Gather Patrons.#autumn #harvest #wildfood #abundance #beautifulfood Gathering lots of the wild bulbs of Allium vineale or wild onion/crow garlic. While they're quite small (like a pearl onion) they're plentiful and easily pulled up in clumps from damp ground.And they pack a whole lot of oniony/garlicky flavour! Pickling them with brussel sprouts is my latest snacking obsession! #healthysnacks #wildfoodlove #wildfood #forage #wildonion #garlic From sour gummies to salted caramels, you can read about my confectionery adventures with the glorious staghorn sumac on the gather patreon page just for today - then it closes to patrons only. You can find the link on our fb page or google gather victoria patreon.# staghorn sumac #sugarandspice #sweetsour Still collecting the last of the rugosa roses to make rose sugar. Cant get enough and keep using it in and on everything. Lately I've been drying and keeping it in chunks (swipe to see) and this can be crumbled into cookies, ice cream or puddings for a nice bite of rosy flavor! #rose #roses #feedfeed #forage #underthefloralspell Jennifer makes a scrumptious St.Johns Wort honey that is warming & wonderful in tea, especially when it comes from a flask on a cool autumn walk in the forest! So I decided I had to have some of my own! I gathered up all the dried flowers I had on hand and doused them with Vancouver Island wildflower honey. Will put in a warming bath in a double boiler for the day to speed up the infusion process. Can hardly wait! #honey #forestwalk #healing #saintjohnswort #liquidsunshine #urbanbeehoneyshop Slippery Jacks are best known for their shiny, very sticky, slippery brown caps but when young can be confusing to identify as their yellow porous underbelly is obscured by a white membrane...just peel it back to make your I.D. These little buttons are wonderful for pickling! Remember dont eat any mushroom unless you are 110% sure what it is!! #wildmushrooms #bolete #wildfoodlove #forage #autumnfood #mushrooms #mushroomlove Slippery Jacks! Popping up like popcorn right now, Suillus luteus is one of my favorite bolete mushrooms. It's fairly easy to indentify with its slippery, sticky brown chestnut caps and yellow porous underside. Generally found in moist mossy areas under pines.The sticky dark skin on the caps peels off easily and should be removed as they can be hard to digest. Love these panfried with butter, garlic and shallots, in gravy and in stews and pasta. Never consume ANY mushroom unless you're 110% sure of its identity! #wildfoodlove #wildmushrooms #bolete #autumnfood #forage #wildfood #mushroomlove #mushrooms Staghorn Sumac Bunyols (Spanish sugar fritters -like a donut without the hole) this time rolled in staghorn sumac icing sugar. Yes it works with icing sugar too! The tart lemony bite of sumac really cuts through the sweetness. Soo good! Recipe coming soon for all Gather Patrons. #delectable #wildfood #sumac #allsaintsday #feedfeed Staghorn Sumac Sugar Bunyols (small sugared fritters) are a traditional Spanish treat enjoyed on All Saints Day (Nov.1st). This day is dedicated to the memory of the dead, particularly the ancestors, and people visit the graves of loved ones. But around now bakeries begin serving up these tasty popular treats. These bunyols are coated in tangy, citrusy staghorn sugar...and they are DELICIOUS! Recipe coming soon for all Gather Patrons. #honoringourancestors #wildfoodlove #staghornsumac #forage #wildfood #feedfeed Salsify is back! Although most often harvested in fall for its tasty roots, I love its tender, slightly sweet shoots. Lightly steamed and dribbled with olive oil & lemon or given a quick pan fry in butter & garlic- so very very yum. #tastyweeds #forage #wildfoodlove #fallgreens #feedfeed Pretty excited about this staghorn sumac sugar! I love sour candies and have been trying to make staghorn sumac gummy bears for a while now. Never get the sour intensity I want - until now! Processed the seeds with sugar and all the lemony pinkness just absorbed into the sugar and then i just sieved the seeds out. Love this so so much. And I think this is going to do the sour gummy bear trick! #sweetsour #sourcandy #wildfoodlove #wildfood #sumac Sweet rugosa rosehips will be deseeded and soaked in brandy and tart barberries will be made into a syrup and maybe a relish. #wildcrafting #wildfoodlove #forage #wildberry #wildbooze #rosehip
