Minnesota Pinecone Chowder

5 Comments

A Crisp, Pungent and Savory dish for a cold winter afternoon.

Here is a Gustafer Yellowgold original recipe using stuff out of his own back yard.

The broth is mostly pine sap, but the wild onions will give it more of a zing.
So! Get a bucket and collect about a quart of sap out of a pine tree.
Over a medium heat, get the sap moving into a nice rolling boil. Add about 30-40 medium to small pinecones.
Stir well to thoroughly coat the cones.
Add one good mitt-full of wild weed onions.
Add one capfull of  white moth powder.
Stir again to coat all cones.
Sniff the chowder-vapors deeply with flared nostrils to ensure it’s very pungent and piney.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Top with a few bits of fresh pine-needles.

Serve with a glass of cold, iced Moss Juice.

You can also spread the mixture out on a greased cookie sheet and refrigerate to make a delightful Pinecone Brittle. There’s never usually enough left over to ever do this.. But…anyway…ENJOY!

    does Gustafer have any teeth? if not, how does he chew the pinecones? do they burn up in his mouth?

    There are teeth. A little big, but they work!
