Red Sumac

Marie writes: "The red sumac is almost ready to harvest. I should wait but I can't resist--I'm ready for sumac lemonade. I will dry some and use through the winter for seasoning. The Indians would dry the leaves and smoke. You can buy the berries commercially, and kinnick is an herbal blend the Indians smoked. (www.upi.com)."
Dried sumac berries: "To harvest the berries, simply cut the clusters, called "bobs" away from the trees. Roll a couple of the velvety berries between your fingers and then give your finger a lick - you'll taste the tartness! You can use the berries as they are, or you can dry them for use throughout the winter. (From www.farmersalmanac.com).
(Note: This is about smooth sumac. If you're not absolutely sure about the different sumacs, see this article about identifying poison sumac) Comments | Permalink

World meet: Chandana Kumari Madha Shiva from Hyderabad in India! Chandana is a student in our graduate program whom we had the pleasure to meet in person during our May residency. She happily agreed to be part of our #postcardsfromlindsey series! See what she shared with you:
- What was the hardest adjustment you had to make?
"Staying away from family and cold winter weather" - Why did you choose LWC?
"Because of the program offered" - Where is the most interesting place you have been and why?
"Key West Florida, it's a beautiful place and it has its own vibe" - Share a favorite tradition from home and help us understand it by providing an explanation:
"Celebrating diwali with fireworks and lots of food. Diwali is one of my favorite festivals and on this day everyone in the family has every meal together. We have a family get together. We burn fireworks, decorate the house with lights, play family games and eat lots of sweets"
Generations celebrating together
