Beer Batter-fried Kale – We Love God!

I bear my testimony that there is no joy to be found in all this world like that of sweet communion with Christ. I would barter all else there is of heaven for that. Indeed, that is heaven. As for the harps of gold and the streets like clear glass and the songs of seraphs and the shouts of the redeemed, one could very well give all these up, counting them as a drop in a bucket, if we might forever live in fellowship and communion with Jesus.

C.H. Spurgeon

a bowl, and let it stand, covered, for 1 hour.  In a large deep skillet
heat 1 inch of the oil until it registers  360F. on a deep-fat
thermometer. Dip each leaf into the batter,  coating it thoroughly and
knocking off the excess batter on the side  of the bowl, and fry it in
the oil for 30 seconds on each side, or  until it is golden. Transfer
the kale as it is fried to paper towels  to drain and sprinkle it
lightly with the coarse salt. Serve the kale  with the lemon wedges.
