Door to Nature: Thimbleberry Flowers and Fruit - Door County Pulse

I remember going to pick some thimbleberries one mid-morning during the dry summer of 1976. I was going through the rocky south point of Baileys Harbor with a plastic ice cream pail and had picked enough berries to cover its bottom when I looked at my watch. Holy cow! It was time to get home to make Roy his lunch. I hastened back to my car, and as I did, I tripped over a fallen tree, spilling all of my fruit onto the rough, rocky ground. That was it for my thimbleberry harvest that summer. Thimbleberries tend to flatten when picked, and it’s important to pick them clean because it’s very difficult to pick out debris once they’re in the pail. When you’ve picked a pailful, you really have a lot of berries. The recipe that Miss Emma Toft gave us is to combine equal quantities of clean berries and sugar in a pot, cook the mixture slowly, stir it well and bring it to a boil. Then quickly remove the pot from the burner, fill sterilized jars with the fruit and place sterilized lids on the jars. The red color is exquisite; the seeds are very small and easy to chew compared to the large, woody seeds of blackberries; and the tart flavor is unsurpassable. A good memory I have is of hiking the quiet trails on Rock Island in early August just after it became a state park. There was no campground, and few people were there. We hiked the trails leisurely, snacking on wild raspberries and thimbleberries and feeling like Robinson Crusoe, alone on a desert island. ...

Plant of the Month: Pua Kala

On the Big Island it is native to South Point. The name glauca is also a Greek derivative that refers to the bluish cast created by the gray-green color of the poppy's leaves. The species decipiens had a native habitat limited to the dry sub-alpine areas on the Big Island leeward of the saddle between Maunakea and Mauna Loa from 2,000 to 6,500 feet. It is distinguished by the number of prickles on its capsules. It has twice as many as glauca. The botanical name decipiens relates to the Latin word deceptum that means deceptive or misleading, probably referring to its very specific and somewhat inaccessible native habitat. The Hawaiian name pua kala literally means thorny flower, thus the apt common name in English of "prickly poppy." This Argemone shares a Hawaiian name with the native lobelia (Cyanea solenocalyx) that also has prickly leaves. The native habitat of the lobelia is the gulches of Molokai, however. Pua kala has an herbaceous growth habit and can grow in clumps that may reach 4 feet tall in some locations. The individual plants can be somewhat sparse. Growing them close together can make a nice hedge, however. The spiny stems of the pua kala are erect and branched and can spread up to 4 feet wide. The leaves are alternate and deeply lobed with whitish veins. They are also covered with small spines as are the seed pods. The blue green color of the leaves, stems and seed capsules lend the plant an overall glaucous blue-green cast. The ubiquitous sharp prickles actually make this an ideal plant for protecting an area in your landscape from foot traffic. Pua kala's attractive flowers appear sporadically year round. They usually measure about 3 inches across with six bright white crinkly petals and a yellow-orange center. The center's numerous yellow-orange male stamens surround a dark purple, lobed female stigma. The flowers stay open for a single day and once pollinated become attractive seed pods. New flowers will usually open daily during blooming periods. The seed pods are erect, oblong, gray-green capsules that are pr...

Tips & Recipes from Miami Bartenders to Help You Throw Your Best Holiday Party Yet

Isaura Melendez, bartender, The Arketekt by Aficionados (1200 Brickell Bay Dr., Ste. 107) Marinko Rankovic: Take a Cue from South Point Tavern's Cocktail List "A simple cocktail to create with your family and loved ones is South Pointe Tavern’s Unordinary Spritz. It’s a simple combination of 1 oz Hendrick’s Gin, 1 oz Aperol, and 2 oz fresh orange juice mixed together and poured into a beautiful wine glass topped with prosecco, which gives it that perfect bubbly touch." —Marinko Rankovic, bartender, South Pointe Tavern (40 South Pointe Dr., #109, Miami Beach, 305-763-8368) Joel Mesa: Easy-to-Prep Cocktails Will Be a Life & Time-Saver "Don’t make cocktails that take longer to prepare than they do to drink. Martinis are perfect for holiday parties, and they are timeless and classy. I suggest a nice set of stemmed martini glasses kept in the freezer. If you're able to, keep the vodka and the dry vermouth in the freezer as well. A ratio of 2 1/2 oz of vodka to 1/2 oz of dry vermouth will make most people happy. The only other thing you need is some olives—blue cheese-stuffed olives are all the rage nowadays—and many stores sell these garnishes by the jar." —Joel Mesa, mixologist, Pisco y Nazca and Bulla Gastrobar (both have multiple locations) Isaac Grillo: Pair Fruits & Veggies Together; Stick to the Tried and True img src="http://oceandrive.com/get/files/image/g...
