Went out for a #rollabout but the wind picked up so couldn't get any nice bird shots.

Flowers and fruit on the other hand, were readily available

I noticed this wild strawberry while it for a walk. Maybe it's an "escaped" cultivar or hybrid as it looks quite large for a wild strawberry. Wild strawberries are smaller and sweeter than the farmed ones, but I won't be tasting this one. It's at the side of a lane that has a lot of dog walkers.

Magaria biscuits and magaria seeds. Two great ways to enjoy the same fruit!

Wild blackberry season has started with a vengeance. There are millions this year, good size ones, too, from all the rain. Plenty for us and the birds. Horrible to pick, of course. These ones were sown for us by the birds, years ago, and we just tend them and #harvest , freeze and eat throughout the year.

Exciting find: stumbled across a massive tangle of black #raspberry stalks next to the old grain bin out back. Picked 3 cups of them and there are at least that many more still getting ripe. #wildfruit #nativeplants
Sumac gummies. Topped with sumac sugar. I added some cane sugar to my prepared sumac water, boiled with agar-agar, and let it set before cutting into pieces. Itโ€™s tasty! But I think next time Iโ€™ll add more cane sugar to the water and roll the pieces in the sumac sugar instead of sprinkling it on top. Next on the agenda: sumac syrup. ๐Ÿ˜‹ https://pixelfed.social/p/smwalker/482975930293926306

I finally sifted out the infused sumac sugar and started soaking the fruit in water for sumac-ade last night (https://pixelfed.social/p/smwalker/466684818330984013). Iโ€™m looking forward to using the sugar. I have some agar agar that Iโ€™m planning on using to make โ€œrubber candyโ€ with the sumac-ade. Iโ€™ll probably reduce the remaining water into a syrup. Maybe Iโ€™ll do a second, lighter infusion with the fruit too. It might make a good kefir flavoring. ๐Ÿค” #sumac #foraging #wildedibles #wildfruit #wildcrafting #foragedfood
