You need to cook it in about 4 waters though--bring to a boil, drain, add more water, boil, drain, etc--that takes the bitterness out of it and it is just delicious.<br /><br />It is pretty here now, I just love this time of the year. Soon we'll be fighting the losing battle against weeds and grass and have our hands full trying to keep up!Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-36510451588393492842010-04-07T15:29:14.426-04:002010-04-07T15:29:14.426-04:00Hey Granny Sue!

I do remember when we first moved to our farm my Granny came over and took home bags of it and ate it! <br /><br />Your place looks just beautiful in the Spring!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240864960032938754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-27086122960279588982010-04-07T15:08:27.336-04:002010-04-07T15:08:27.336-04:00Matthew, the 30-gallon one is cracked, although pr...Matthew, the 30-gallon one is cracked, although probably useable. The other two I used to use to make wine, kraut and pickles. I may make wine again one day, but will probably never make pickles or kraut in those quantities again--those were the days of five growing boys.<br /><br />We were planning to make venison on Friday, so maybe I'll look for some recipes with the redbud addition. Sounds like it might be tasty. I read that they could be used in quick breads and pancakes too. All these years and I'm just now learning the uses of this tree!<br /><br />John M. mentioned that the poke was up. I have not seen it, but honestly I've been so busy I haven't looked. Poke is my all time favorite wild green.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-33755021953097508072010-04-07T14:07:45.495-04:002010-04-07T14:07:45.495-04:00Besides saying I love this post and the photo'...Besides saying I love this post and the photo's, I want to just say, "That's alot of crock you have there!" lol. <br /><br />Three of them, right? Using them as plant stands? That's a new use for them.<br /><br />Oh, and is that a mulberry tree that I see blooming in the first photo? Nice. <br /><br />Are you going to try and make Redbud pickles as well? Some folks have been discussing them on one of the foraging groups that I am on. I've not had them but they sound like they would be good.<br /><br />I've heard of people using redbud blossoms with wild game dishes, especially venison. I haven't heard of redbud jelly. <br /><br />While I haven't had redbud in a salad, I have eaten the bloom plain & right off the tree. To me they have a sweet, slightly spicy taste. I don't recall a nutty flavor, although it has been a few years. From what I recall, they would probably be really good in a salad.<br /><br />I saw a bunch of poke along the road near where we live. I was tempted to stop and get some, but it's a little close to a well-travelled road, and it's in Charleston. I decided not to risk it.Matthew Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02625103538582649633noreply@blogger.com
