Wild Leeks pt 2

Here is an easy way to keep wild leeks; pickle them! Pickled wild leeks are wonderful on their own, but they also make a great base for soups and dips. Also pickled leeks pickled with cider vinegar and honey makes a good cold remedy especially for head colds. Pickling brine recipe as follows: If you use store bought cider vinegar use 2 cups vinegar to 1 cup water and around 1 cup of honey. Pour over wild leeks, let set for at least a week, then enjoy.

Those wild leeks look delicious. don't know what they are though.

I have been eating Nopalitos (Tender cactus pads) for about two weeks now, my wife love them and so do i.

Thanks woodswoman.

@EDINBURGSTAR Thank you, I'm afraid we don't get too many cactus up here but I have been given a jelly made from cactus flowers (I traded some maple syrup for it) and it was yummy. I guess each area has its wild edibles that the people who live there love.
