I couldn't resist picking up some butternuts from this tree after spending some time admiring it at a baby shower I was attending. The people that lived there had no idea that the nuts were edible.
I plan to plant half and try out dehydrating and roasting some in the shell. In the past, I've just cracked the fresh shell with a vice but hopefully after roasting or dehydrating the shells get a little easier to crack in a less labor intensive way.

quotingThe fall harvest is closing in at the homestead

Pawpaw, hops, mushrooms, autumn olive, cannabis and more. I'm looking forward to picking, preserving and preparing the harvest into all sorts of tasty drinks, smokes and meals.
I've been finding more and more to forage in the fall too. Not just at the homestead but all around the neighborhood. Most people are happy to have someone come help clean up their lawn. Win; win.
The cannabis is starting to reveal its beauty but it will really be showing off in a week or two. All the crosses have expressed pink pistils, which is exactly what I'm after!
There's a chill in the air today setting my tune to the vibe of autumn. What fall produce are you looking forward to?
