It's Hawthorne berry season! Hawthorne is an under utilized, PNW super food, packed with polyphenols, antioxidants and colorful anthocyanins.

I like to use fresh berries to make vinegar, and Hawthorne Berry BBQ sauce. Berries can also be lightly fermented to make a delicious soft drink. Dry berries make a great addition to tea blends.

Food Waste Prevention Week is Sept 28 - Oct 4, but the organization is hosting a cooking contest for the whole month of September! From Sept. 1 to Oct. 6, any time you make a dish that uses up what you have, finds a new use for an often pitched ingredient, or otherwise makes sure good food doesn’t go to waste, you can share the story of the dish for a chance to win. After the entry period closes, everyone’s invited to a zoom party/award ceremony where we’ll celebrate all the food we’ve saved and announce the five winners. Each winner will be awarded $100.

Our forager secretary Katie Neall has published a post about processing fireweed. In the Evening Primrose family, fireweed flowers are used in jellies and teas. The tender young shoots and leaves can be eaten as a spring vegetable, similar to asparagus. The young leaves can be added to salads and stir-fries. And the leaves can be dried and used for tea. Read the blog on the website www.slowfoodsouthwillamette.org to get some info.

Have a b**r with us! And with Willamette Farm and Food Coalition! There is a lot of overlap between what Slow Food and WFFC believe and stand for. We're happy to be strengthening a connection between Slow Food South Willamette and Willamette Farm and Food Coalition starting with co-presenting at Oakshire Brewing's Pint Night. The money raised will go to WFFC for this event, but Slow Food South Willamette will be there to talk about our work as well. Hope to see you there!
