Crafting Gone Wild.


Wild Rose Infused Honey 








A wild woman recently passed on an article to me about infusing honey with wild herbs and flowers.  Our property has both old overgrown rose beds and wild roses growing in the timothy grass.  Today Luna and I went gathering rose petals. 














Then I packed clean jars with the petals.















I slowly add the honey, stirring a little and adding more petals.












Then I sealed the jars.  Now I just have to wait four to six weeks, strain the honey and voila!  

You can do this with other flowers of course, or spices.  I'm anxious to try ginger infused honey next. 









Here's Susan Weed making Violet Flower Honey, she reminds me a bit of Julia Child gone wild.
