Good idea. Always on the lookout for things to do with wild garlic, one of the few wild leaves I can be 100% sure about identifying! Might be a bit early for it yet up here in Newcastle?
Sounds good but my garlic has not appeared yet.I will certainly give it a try
Sounds and looks delicious! Will definitely give it a try! Thanks for sharing
Found my first lot today in Northumberland. They were small but packed with flavour. Have just added to my vinegar. I wonder if there is anything that could be done with the pickled leaves at the end of the 6 weeks or will they be too mushy?
Sarah: Strain out the leaves and discard after they have have gone pale and the green has virtually gone, anything up to 6 weeks.
Will try this vinegar idea out, interesting, thanks for sharing
Hi, I am enjoying this web site and all the wonderful plants you are finding, in America we too have glorious rose hips miles at the beach and many other plants and flowers some of which I do know and some I do not know.
My only caution is to make sure you wash with a good cleanser since many wild things we do not want to eat run through here also.
Thank you so much for sharing.

I lived in England for 5 years and one of my fondest memories is visiting Wales and going out to pick flowers for a wine I was learning how to make with many other people from the area.
We then were given a huge basket of apples and in a very old small cottage with a wood fire oven we baked breads, a stew and this amazing apple pie.’I have never ever eaten a better one. And dinner was served with a Linden berry wine amazing.
I must post your information in my tea/herb/spice shoppe.
Thank you for this post and my moment of memories.
What fun!
