Some recipes

There are some recipes that I would make even if I was eating regular foods. They taste better than what I've eaten before. My favorites so far are the baked moose heart, cream of chickweed soup, apple-huckleberry cobbler, salmon wrapped in comfrey leaves and the rosehip/apple fruit leather. I think you should give them a try also, because they are very delicious.

Here are some recipes to start out with:

Cream of Chickweed Soup

Saute wild onions in butter or animal fat
add a couple of big handfuls of washed chickweed and saute for a bit longer
Add water or stock (about 4 cups)
Add sea salt and herbs if you like
Bring to a boil and simmer for a couple of minutes.
Blend everything up in the blender and return to the pot
Add more salt for taste
(if you want it creamier, you can add milk or cream)

Rosehip / Apple fruit leather

Add an inch or so of water to half a gallon of rose hips and bring to a boil.
Simmer for a couple of minutes until the rosehips are soft
Mash the rosehips in a strainer and force the pulp out with a cup or something, you should have a thick rose hip puree
Put about five medium peeled apples in the blender and puree them with the rose hip puree.
Pour the resulting mixture on a dehydrator tray and dehydrate on 140 degrees for about 12 hours.


I hope you will give these a try. I'll reveal the other recipes later. 



Did you know that three rose hips contain as much vitamin C as a whole orange?
