If you want some really good foraging try some acorns. I recently just got into foraging and made 2 batches of acorn flour with enough acorns harvested for the next and plans to get more. I made a bread using a basic cornbread recipie replacing the corn meal with my acorn flour. Spring 2010 I plan to harvest some cattail shoots and pollen. Then Maple seeds! Don’t eat the acorns plain. search the internet on how to make acorn flour and follow the directions. The native americans and early settlers made it through the winters living on acorns.

@ Anna

It’s actually in Concord, but I’m going to keep the rest of the location secret. I will tell you that I went back again this weekend to find all of those beautiful berries shriveled. Looks like that season is over.

I lerves me some wild blackberries. I used to pick them while at my brother’s baseball games when I was a kid! You could make some delicious “breakfast” bars with them.

I have been trying to find an area where I can do some wild berry picking forever. Would you mind telling us where this spot is? Cuyahoga national park? Rocky river?

i just got a big bowl of this from my mom-in-law and love them. i put some in a tupperware with a spoonful of splenda and a little warm water, mushed them up a bit, and put them in the fridge until the next day. i pured this concoction over some lowfat vanilla hagen daas and it kicked major butt!

i think the splenda and warm water & smashing is my version of some recipe that exists. like the crap people call strawberry shortcake.
