I'll be trying this, we have a staghorn sumac tree nearby.

That is incredible! One thing I'm not understanding is, once you strain the vegetables out. Do you add more apple cider into the jar?

There's a point where you stop being Native and just become white. It's funny how much Americans like to think 5% dna counts for anything.

I wish you would have talked about what you like to use it for. Or if you had specific family recipes that call for sumac. I'm thinking many people may not know much about it. It would be very helpful for them.

I live in a sumac dense area. I tried making some dye for cloth with it last year. I messed up so it didn't work the best, but it smelled wonderful.

I would love to come eat at your place, looks yummy 😋

Love the sound !

Thanks for a great vegetarian recipe!

It grows wild here too, plan to try that this year.

I was so excited to find it here in the Pacific Northwest! Thank you for the tutorial.

Thanks for telling us about this book! I'm looking to learn more about Basil Johnston and I'm going to try reading his books. Thanks again =)

Thank you. This looks amazing.

Delicious 😋 love native Indigenous ppls ❤

Boozhoo! Chi miigwech for this video! I will be making hominy with field corn using your technique. Have you ever had the Haudenosaunee version where they let the ash settle in the water first and pour the water off to use? If so, was there a noticeable change in taste or textures? Miinawaa miigwech for your channel

Can I havest Sumac berries for spice in the winter if they are still on the tree?

I’d love a bannock recipe!

I can’t wait to make this.

I’ve been missing my grandmother and her indigenous recipes. I was happy to see this, I think she made something similar. She was Potawatomi.

I HAD WOJAMPI AND DRY BREAD AT A NATIVE AMERICAN EATERY YEARS AGO IT IS VERY GOOD ON ICE CREAM MY GRAND MOTHER KEPT A LARGE JAR OF WOJAMPI IN THE REFRIGERATOR

How do I grow this?

Sumac is from Middle East. In Iran we eat every day in kebab and soup and we make sumac soup for digesting infections

Thank you so much about sharing how the four sisters help one another!! 💙

Love this! I no longer live on the farm but I still dehydrate veggies and fruits and tomatoes and jerky! :)

oooooh I can't wait to make this!!!

Hello from Canada. Last year I harvested some sumac, like what you've got there, and dried it. There's not much, I just wanted to try it. But I was afraid to use it because I knew there was also poison sumac. Now that I know the difference, (thank you), I can go ahead and use it!

Weliwoni/thank you for this video! I just found your channel and I feel like I am the receiving kind Auntie teachings I missed out on as a kid. I really appreciate your videos, they are so healing.

Hi, what stories are abouth the Baykok, Flying/Rolling Heads and Wendigos?

I was introduced to sumac many years ago as a seasoning at a middle eastern restaurant and can't wait to harvest the sumac I recently discovered in my mother in law's backyard!! Thank you for your video.

It also is sticky when ready to harvest.

Yummy! Fry bread time!!!

Hi there! Thanks for your video. Im having teouble getting the little hairs to go through my seive: maybe the holes arent big enough? They seem to really stick to the seeds. Hard to separate. Any tricks appreciated!

I am just finding your channel. Thank you so much for sharing. I love sumac but due to life I haven’t done much with it. I am from Oklahoma and I have a dream for sumac and it’s beneficial superfood qualities. 😇even you can use the leaves in moderation.

I just recently heard about the uses for sumac and am anxious to try. Thank you for this video. Tho I may have a bit of a late harvest I’m giving it a try. (Nothing to lose) We have a wooded lot and there is a whole area of endless sumac bushes. Also having someone tap maple trees in our yard next year so I suspect we’ll receive a bit of the bounty there too. Maybe a swap?! 🤷🏼‍♀️

What time of years is good to harvest? And I seen some that looks a little red and some of it was brown. Does that mean I missed harvest? Or not ready to harvest? TIA

I must have missed it, did you already steep the berries you processed in the blender? Or should berries used for lemonade be considered "used" and disposed of?

Awesome! Thank you for you work! I am Spanish and I had never dared to harvest sumac since I knew that it is toxic raw. I think now I have no excuses.

My landlady dug up and brought home a sumac a few years ago and now we have babies popping up everywhere. We live in Arizona. I can't wait to harvest the beautiful blooms and create some dishes with it and lemonade. Thanks for sharing how you harvest this awesome tree.

Is there anything that can be done with the seeds afterwards?

I didn’t realize I could use cedar. Any cedar preparation needed??

some videos I've watched never mentioned washing the berries. Given they grow by the roadside and are exposed to vehicle exhaust, I would prefer to wash them, but no one says how best to do it so they don't take forever to dry. Suggestions?

Thank you for this video, just saw tons of this growing down near Athens Ohio.

Hi, Thank you for your helpful video. Could you explain how to wash the sumac without losing the flavor of the berries?

Chi miigwech!!🙏🏾

Thanks for the info. I will try it.

How do you dry? Can I speed up the process in a ninja airfryer? If so how long for?

Wouldn’t it be able to put it thru a food mill

Yes very good I'm just Gathering Staghorn sumac for the very first time and I've made the lemonade. I'm keeping the red berries seeds dried in the oven low heat method. Wonderful channel to begin a new year for 2024 thank you happy Gathering and foraging for wild edibles. Watching from Canada🇨🇦🇺🇸🕊💓Nova Scotia

Thank you for this video! Exactly what I was looking for. Approximately how long did it take to dehydrate in your oven? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Learned about it years ago. That the wood can be used to make a hood pipe too. Only cooked with it once but I love to nibble them.
