Edible Flowers: Maple Blossoms

If you're peckish and looking for a seasonal snack, look no farther than the blossoms of the maple tree! Light and very green with a tiny burst of maple water (nectar) on the inside, these are quite the delectable treat if you can find them. I've read that you can use them in salads but my partner and I nom on that straight off of the tree.

These particular blossoms are from the Norway Maple tree but I've also tried the Sugar Maple which is equally good though slightly different in flavor. The sweet hit of flavor on the inside is reminiscent of maple syrup but much lighter in flavor.

Please, eat responsibly - trees tend to draw a lot of toxins out of the ground so pick the trees that you eat from with care. And if you're unsure about the identification, play it safe and don't eat it.

Winter Morning Magic: Rosehip Grapefruit Curd, Muffins, And More

"Let the refreshing flavors of midwinter feed both body and spirit with recipes for fragrant rosemary-fir muffins filled with tart rose hip and grapefruit curd! Make an extra batch of “Vitamin C Potion” for delicious breakfast drinks as well. Watch how food can heal you. The muffins themselves have the aromatic and savory fragrance of rosemary and fir needles, which perfectly compliment the tart surprise inside: grapefruit and rose-hip curd, the color of a winter sunrise. As a bonus, the extra juice leftover from the curd can be saved to make sunrise orange juice filled with a boost of vitamin C (and maybe some champagne for the grown-ups, too!)" - The Wondersmith
