Took my rubber gloves and a big bag with me when I walked the dog this morning. Nettle beer is on the go.
I had the Free Food Friday (great idea Claire) bug after that, so I got my River Cottage Preserves book out and had a look through. I was actually looking for a nettle syrup recipe but came up with the above instead. It's going to be a mint cordial/syrup when it's finished. There was no nettle syrup recipe, so if anyone has one :-).
And lastly, some more pickled eggs with chilli. Thanks to Claire we're off hunting wild garlic tomorrow - her blog has made my mouth water.

Some other good foraging recipes on there too.
Would love to have a go at the nettle beer sometime.
Free food Friday - great idea, although not sure I could do something every Friday, but have
just started some dandelion syrup today after reading about it recently. Posted on my blog
Thanks for that Dawn, I'll go and have a look at that. That dandelion syrup looks great too.
I've just got the RC preserves book too - it's great - I'mm going to try the rhubarb ketchup next week. I have a nettle and blackcurrant cordial on the blog - it is gorgeous - and nettle wine too. xx
I love this book too, Jacqui. I really love the look of the nettle and blackcurrant cordial but I have no blackcurrant bushes :-(. Next year hopefully.
