10 August Reason number 6 to head to the high country by George McQuiston General Information 0 0 Comment 1842 Ok, so you don’t hunt or fish, wildflowers don’t make your heart skip a beat, horseback riding is great for cowboys, and hiking…forget it! I bet you eat. And one of natures most amazing gifts are the fruits that occur naturally and in abundance on public lands. Years ago I got interested in all the berries I saw in the mountains and wondered to myself which ones can I eat? Well I am here to tell you, there are a bunch of edible berries in the woods. The most recognizable is the wild raspberry which grows quite readily in the high Uinta’s. The wild raspberry looks just like a regular raspberry you would find at the store, but sometimes they are quite a bit smaller. There are a bunch of other edible berries in the woods and I wood recommend you pic up a book on wild berries and get the kids out into the woods and find some of mother nature’s treasures. My favorite berry recipe is pick a cupful of wild raspberries by picking one and putting in the cup and the next 2 go in your mouth, 1 in cup 2 in mouth…I think you get the idea:) Put what manages to make it in a cup in a batch of pancake mix and have wild raspberry pancakes…they are delicious. Get out and pick some berries and share your recipes with us. Wild Raspberries are ripening now! General Information Share Showing 0 Comment Comments are closed.
