THIS RECIPE COMES from Foraged Flavor by Tama Matsuoka.
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups wild mixed berries
1. In medium saucepan, bring to boil 2 cups water, sugar, and vanilla extract. Remove from heat.
2. In a blender, puree the berries and then add the sugar syrup. Blend together until smooth (about 2 minutes). Strain through fine mesh or cheesecloth. Spoon into moulds and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours.
yum. remember going hiking some years ago with a bunch who didn’t grow up here, and all resisted when I excitedly harvested some huckleberries along the side of the trail and ate on the spot. Silly them! They missed out on a treat.
