So what is your favorite summer edible?
Not enough people remember flowers as edibles. But the blooms from Monarda are a GREAT addition to macerated peaches, then spooned onto vanilla ice cream. Both colorful and tasty adding a bright tea-like flavor to the peaches!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great suggestion, Brent and Becky's Bulbs!
ReplyDeleteThat brings to mind Daylilies are edible too - similar uses and in taste/texture to squash blossoms.
