Is there a local distillery? I would think there could be great possibilities for it as an eau de vie (de pomme!). So many great ways to use apples, hate to think they just become food waste.

I personally feel this is a value-add opportunity where I live. There are so many apples folks shovel them into garbage bins. Apple eau-de-vie would be a lovely answer.

@JeanAnnVK… thanks for the tip. I planted Walla Walla onions last year and they did great! Can’t wait to try garlic. So many great things to make with it.

@Tricia I’d love to know what you thought of the Eau De Vie. I was quite surprised by the taste.
Glad to hear you finally got to go berry picking! That activity is one of the highlights of my summer. The blackberry bushes in my backyard is just now ripening. Yum!

Wow Rebecca,

Eau de Vie sounds like a must try – I love that it’s not sweet. Will look for it the next time I’m purchasing some distilled spirits.

Finally went berry picking this weekend, and was very successful. I’m at capacity in the freezer now with marionsberries, boysenberries (I had no idea how big these were), rasperries & blueberries!

Talk soon, Tricia

Hi Rebecca! By all means, DO plant garlic this fall…it is a great time to do it. Just make sure the bed is well draining so don’t drown…
