Hibiscus Uses In Cooking

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Besides the ususal herbal tea blends you can try:  From:
wow4now@aol.com (Wow4Now) Newsgroups: rec.food.cooking  Some edible
flowers are rose, hibiscus, society garlic, daylily,  violet, and many
other.  If you eat them, be sure that they have not  been sprayed. I
grow my own and add them to salads.  I like society  garlic and
hibiscus the most for salads.  Kind of garlic and pepper  flavors.
Candied violets and rose make great pastery decorations. Tea  is made
from rose (rose hips) and hibiscus (red zinger). Donna  From:
paulhinr@nando.net (Paul Hinrichs)  Extracted from an article about
smoking cajun sausage:  At midnight, I started smoking the andouille.
This is not normally a  very creative process, but this time I decided
to try something  different. Cliff the Butcher carries this inexpensive
line of herbs  by a company called El Charrito; and several months ago
I picked up a  little bag of Flor De Jamaica - dried hibiscus flowers -
for 99  cents. Never figured out what to use them in, so last night I
burned  'em in the smoker. The smoke was very fruity and fragrant and,
hopefully, non-poisonous.  After I ran out of hibiscus, I went to the
standard, hickory. A  couple of pans of that and now the andouille is
just cookin' at 175.  The smoke has made it an even deeper red and if I
can't eat this  stuff I'll use it for Christmas tree ornaments.
