Edible Plant Recipes

Many people when they get into wild edibles usually just nibble them on the trail while hiking. However it's much more enjoyable and healthier to add them to your diet with things you already consume. Though it's not always easy and it takes trial and error. This page and these recipes are an aim at helping you get some things you already eat from wild edible plants. These recipes are simple, easy to follow, and can be improvised and changed in a number of ways. Feel free to experiment, that's half the fun!

Finished Wood Sorrel syrup

1 cup of water (hot)
1/2 cup sugar
​Get cup of water hot, then steep wood sorrel leaves, flowers, and pods for five to ten mintutes.

​This makes a refreshing drink in itself, however we are going for syrup here so we want to add our 1/2 cup of sugar to the flavored liquid.
Add sugar to the Sorrel tea
After adding the sugar bring it to a slow and steady simmer. Simmer until thickened to the consistency you want. As it's simmering, check it occasionally by putting some of it into a separate container to let it cool.
