This year crop is lost, too late for harvesting good quality fruits, but in fall 2010 I will try it with our national distiled plum- based "tzuica" and another batch with vodka. <br />I am a real hardy cacti freak, check my site- I hope you'll like it:<br />www.coldhardycacti.freehosting.net<br /><br />May the new year bring you all health and happiness!<br /><br />FabianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409949.post-84327238970103321152009-04-10T18:53:00.000-06:002009-04-10T18:53:00.000-06:00That certainly is a beautiful color--glad you unde...That certainly is a beautiful color--glad you undertook such an intriguing process.nina at Nature Remains.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07888238636692649668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409949.post-32385430486669071632009-04-07T09:21:00.000-06:002009-04-07T09:21:00.000-06:00Thanks, guys!Watcher-- thanks for the tip!

If I can get my plant to produce or otherwise acquire more tunas, I'll give it a go next year.<BR/><BR/>K&R-- Agreed about wild foods-- with care. My first Euell Gibbons type experience was back in 1975 I think! Actually, chokecherry is my favorite for cordial and works really well. You just wash 'em and throw them in the jar... etc. Elderberry's very different, earthy. I showed my niece how to do this, and she's tried orange, peach, strawberry, and others. I'm adverse to paying for fruit for this project, however.Sallyhttp://foothillsfancies.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409949.post-13098687540619117072009-04-07T07:50:00.000-06:002009-04-07T07:50:00.000-06:00We're so glad you ventured into recipe-territory! ...We're so glad you ventured into recipe-territory! Introducing people to wild foods is always a great way to pique curiosity about nature -- and bringing it into the 'adult' realm by showing how to make a cordial is just the thing to get adults out experimenting with 'tuna' themselves. We're lacking in cacti (we saw one once -- a very small specimen -- while rock-climbing along the St. Croix river), but there are plenty of wild things we might try to adapt this recipe to.

Thanks fo...I loved this post- botany and cocktails! Thanks for the hypogyny lesson- very helpful.<BR/><BR/>I agree, vodka should be a good choice. Another- slightly riskier, more potentially more rewarding- choice might be gin. I'd recommend trying either Boodles or Sarticious, both of which have very faint fruity undertones (stronger in the latter) that might complement the tuna.Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248341788957416471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24409949.post-58054697298006058502009-04-06T15:34:00.000-06:002009-04-06T15:34:00.000-06:00Good to hear from you Sally.
