It's time to eat some trees! The needles of the white fir smell like lemons when you crush them and boy do the fresh new tips bring a lot of fun flavor to the party!
Watch while I forage for fresh needles, find some deadfall wood, and make a fir tip granita, put it in a handmade fir wood goblet, and eat it with a tiny fir wood spoon!
Recipe:
2 cups fresh picked new growth tips (fir, spruce, douglas-fir, etc)
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
pinch of salt
Blend and pour into a baking sheet or pan (metal preferred) and place into a freezer for 20 - 40 minutes, remove and mix with a fork, and repeat the process 3 - 5 times until light and fluffy and slushie-like. Serve and enjoy!
