Foraged deliciousness
I’ve mentioned in a previous post that my family likes to forage for food in addition to growing our own. One of my favorite foraged items is the nut from our native hazel.
They’re itty-bitty compared to the commercially grown European variety. This means that they’re much cuter, but also means that it takes more work to extract a decent amount to eat…both in foraging and in cracking/picking the meat.
And most years, we have to fight the wildlife for what little harvest there is. But, still…totally worth all the effort and showdowns with critters. Heh!
I ended up using this tiny amount in a carrot cake but forgot to take a photo of it. So, here’s a random photo of an apple cake I recently baked instead. 
Yes, this was delicious!Do you forage? If so, what’s your favorite foraged food?
