Directions
Sugared (Honeyed) Acorns, These will keep pretty well in a tin or glass jar and make nice holiday treats or gifts Time does not include leaching the acorns or drying time , What a treat! I’d gathered more acorns than I could plant from one of my trees and have an interest in what’s edible just in the field and came across this I did have to do the boiling and water changes more often – 6 or 7 times, but that would depend on the acorns, not the recipe Thanks for posting this!, These will keep pretty well in a tin or glass jar and make nice holiday treats or gifts Time does not include leaching the acorns or drying time
