We are deeply immersed in Rhubarb season right now & loving every moment of it! Sadly underappreciated by many, this under-rated garden gem is a favorite in our family. It is one of the most versatile things we grow, working equally well for savory dishes as for sweets & drinks. This week, I share one of my family's favorite ways to enjoy it with my Rustic Rhubarb Clafoutis recipe --

Herbal Spotlight: Wild Violets, with my easy  Crème de Violette recipe

5/17/2021

4 Comments

 
I'm blessed with an abundance of wild violets & take full advantage of it yearly! Not only are they extremely useful & delicious, they are beautiful too!  Join me as we explore their many uses & I share my easy Crème de Violette recipe--

​Wild, sweet violet [Viola odorata] is an herbaceous perennial often found growing on the edges of forests, in clearings, & even, to some people’s chagrin, with wild abandon in neighborhood lawns. Personally, I welcome these beautiful, useful flowering plants. Each year, we collect basket after basket full, using some fresh for salad, garnishes, jellies & syrups, infusing some for medicines & liqueurs, & drying some for tea & to ensure we have a supply year-round.

Herbal Spotlight: Lilacs, with my Honey Lilac Zabaglione Recipe

Lilacs:  Their heady scent & delicious flavor make them a favorite of mine for everything from perfume to ice cream. Join me this as I use them to flavor a beloved, heavenly Italian dessert called zabaglione.
Lilacs [Syringa vulgaris] are a part of the olive family. Most revered for their amazing fragrance, their flowers also have traditionally been used for medical purposes as well. The blossoms have wonderful astringent & bitter properties on top of ther aromatic ones. This makes them excellent to infuse into facial toners or into first aid tonics, such as witch hazel, where they greatly benefit minor skin issues like rashes & cuts. Their bitter properties make them an excellent digestive aid, making them useful for adding to salads, as an after meal tea, or as an ingredient in your own home-made bitters. ​
