Happy National Tree Day and National Forest Week from the Straughans! As Registered Professional Foresters we love of trees (sugar maple our favourite of course). Here’s a few snapshots of tree planting we’ve done over the years. Some partially funded by Forests Ontario and Commanda & Area Anglers & Hunters.

Experimenting with Pickled Maple Spruce Tips. Kid approved. Pairs nicely with anything grilled, salads or drop a couple in a Gin & Tonic, or a Caesar! Ingredients 1 cup cider vinegar 3 heaping TBSP maple syrup tsp. salt... tsp. ground black pepper 2 dried chilies cup of water 2 tightly packed cups spruce tips 1 500 ml jar Instructions Place the first 6 ingredients (everything BUT the spruce tips) in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. While the brine is heating, clean the spruce tips in a large bowl by rinsing in cold water. Pack the spruce tips in a mason jar. Once the brine reaches a boil, carefully pour into mason jar. Leave jar to cool on counter stirring 3 or 4 times in the first few minutes to ensure all spruce tips are submerged in the hot brine. Once cool cover with a lid and keep in fridge. See more
