After five weeks driving through some of the most spectacular scenery on Earth I naturally first share a bottle of booze. Park Distillery has a new fan ever since I **smelled** it in their distillery/restaurant in Banff.

I’m making blue spruce jelly. I almost didn’t harvest in time. Grateful for the one late-blooming tree a few blocks away. #Forager #BlueSpruce #Jelly #Canning #SpruceTips #SpruceTrees #recipe http://hitchhikingtoheaven.com/2011/06/spruce-tip-jelly.html

Vasaras sākuma lauku veltes - rabarberu kāti un egļu jaunie dzinumi. Rabarberu izmantojums vēl nav nolemts, bet egļu dzinumi tiks sadalīti 2 daļās, puse taps par sīrupu, otra puse tiks nopanēta alus mīklā un kopā tā būs nešķīsti jauka uzkoda.

Spruce tips are ready for harvesting! Maybe I’ll go pick some today. #forager #foraging #SpruceTips #spruce
