Almost everything is edible. Some things taste better then others, but most "weeds" have other uses.

I knew somebody would say that

I mean 'desirable to eat' wild plants

such as berries or mushrooms

Almost everything is edible. Some things taste better then others, but most "weeds" have other uses.

Fair enough. I bought a book about wild edibles and was amazed at the amount. We do not have any wild berries (except goose berries which I hate) either, so I have had to plant.

The thing is to know what's what. Took the GK's for a walk along the old Erie canal and found the remnants of wild grapes. Now if I can remember they are there, I might score enough for a batch of jelly. Jellies are tough in that they take more work but they are worth it.

Now about that book? What is the title. I might be able to find it used on line.

There was a young lady at the NYS fair last year that I spoke with about giving a formal talk on wild food sources but nothing ever became of it. Perhaps I can find her to give a talk at next years, lord willing, Chickenstock.

I make them into 3oz balls and bake at 375 for 35-40 or until they start to brown. You may have to adjust the flour up or down depending how wet your squash purée is. I start with 3 cups and then add more flour as needed from there. the dough should be soft, smooth and slightly sticky

I made them today and they are great. Thanks for the recipe

Glad you like them. We make those rolls almost exclusively when I bake dinner rolls.

Butternut squash Dinner rolls, recipe on post 1689

 

[rancher hicks]

The recipe is

3 3/4c AP flour
1/3c brown sugar
2/3c butternut purée
2T butter
1/2tsp salt
2tsp yeast
1/3c milk
1 egg beaten

After baking, melt 2 Tbsp butter with 1/2 tsp each salt, white pepper, tarragon leaf, dill seed and brush on rolls

There is never any leftover rolls and I baked 2 dozen for 9 people

Okay so I mix all the given ingredients together and bake at what temp.? Then melt 2 more Tbsp butter and etc. etc. ? I'll have to open this site on another browser and cut and paste to word. It won't work with Google chrome.

you have to knead the dough and then let it rise for about 90 minutes. The new form it in the balls and let it rest for another 30 to 45 minutes. Then bake them at 375 for about 40 minutes. Melt the butter with the seasonings and brush it on top of the rolls in the last couple minutes of baking.
