So I want to grow a bunch of stevia this year for working with. Anyone have growing tips and processing tips? I'm going to keep some dry just for teas, but I would like to get it so I can use it in baking and my raw food. Let the knowledge flow! ;)

You can cut it back lots and lots, however, remember that the main leader will get very thick. You can always prune it back very hard and let all the base shoots come up. Dry your clippings for food or leave a sprig in your car to dry out before tossing. It is a fabulous deodorizer.:D

So I looked up in the cupboard and saw all this jam I had made last year. I don't know what I was thinking! We really don't eat it so much of it. So I've been getting creative: dehydrated jelly treats, meat baked with jelly, and homemade yogurt with jelly mixed in is fine. I posted another...

Have you done this with less sugar? I'm definitely trying this. Our family has already polished of 16 qts of pickles, but we do dills. Do you have a savory pickle recipe?

It's a bulb! If your climate is temperate enough, "Easy-peezy-mac-n-cheesy" :lol:
