Power back on about 45 minutes ago!!! And now I can enjoy how pretty it is.
There are a lot of pecan trees, just not around us. I'll have to stick to the hickory bark syrup. I'm allergic to tree nuts. If I can't eat it, I ain't making it, lol.Your welcome. Just try not to strip them to much. Just take about a 6" piece here and there. It really is wonderful.
If you have any pecan tree's I take a double hand full of pecans and crack into them with a nut cracker and leave the shells and nuts together put them into a pot and boil till the liquid is the dark color
of the inside of the shell. Then strain thru a filter till you have all the pieces out. Again 2 cups of sugar to one cup of liquid you can add more if it's not thick enough and process the same as the hickory. It's ten times better than any you can buy and they use artificial flavors. hahaaa
I did do quite a bit of research on how to do this the old fashion way before I tried it.
Very true...if you are in an area that is supposed to have earthworms. What is so interesting, is up here in the frozen north...you are supposed to have ZERO earthworms.... and they are actually a big problem because they ruin the forrest understory. I forget where the cut off is.... But the far northern US is supposed to be earthworm free..... the earthworms break up all of the fallen leaves and make them "disappear " which means the forest salamanders and such have zero habitat left. Of course Alaska has no salamanders... but for the northern contiguous US it is a problem. Supposedly there are cool endangered native giant earthworms ...Achem....see correction.... I have heard that they smell nice
Oops... correction for location of the giant earthworms.... Oregon... and... supposedly they think the nice smell is a myth. Huh. As to invasive earthworms... here is the first article that popped up. http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/invasives/terrestrialanimals/earthworms/index.html
