A Wild Fall Harvest


Wild Grapes and Staghorn Sumac

As you can see in the picture, wild grapes are quite a bit smaller than their cultivated counterparts. The taste is a bit more bitter also, and of course they have seeds. They can be used like you would use any other grape.

I use staghorn sumac to make a juice concentrate. It has a citrus like taste. You can see some ways I've used it at The Original Pink Lemonade.


A not quite Wordless Wednesday from my SD card to your computer.

I always pick a few "horns" of sumac for fall decoration, but I never knew you could drink it until I read your pink lemonade post!
