Usborne Township celebrates 150 Years July 24-26 Tan to participate From our kitchen to yours By T.A. ghost writer Heavenly Devine It was late summer when we first moved into our home. The previous own- ers had taken what they could from the garden and we were left with the task of cleaning it up and get- ting it ready for the follow- ing spring. At the back of the garden we noticed some tall attractive looking yellow flowers, but really other than trying to pick a few for the house we thought nothing of them. The next year, we were not so ambitious as our predecessors when it came to gardening, and those yellow flowers appeared again, but there seemed to be a lot more of them. After the sec- ond summer, when the flowers started to pop up between the tomato plants and the bean plants, we decided to ask someone what they were. It seemed the faster we pulled them out the faster they appeared. Jerusalem artichokes. We were actually growing artichokes! We loved them, but wondered why we had never seen the globes appear on them. Maybe we weren't looking in the right place. Maybe we would have to pay more attention to their cultivation. No, not globe artichokes. JERUSALEM arti- chokes. You eat the roots, and they taste not unlike globe arti- choke hearts. Delicious! Actually these plants are not artichokes at all, but are related to the sunflower. The name is actually a corruption of the French "girasol" or Italian "Girasole" meaning sunflower. They are native to North America, and the Indians called them "sun -root". If they are left untended in a garden as ours were, they can become an aggressive nuisance, spreading by their roots and seeds. The Jerusalem artichoke is a tall shaggy looking plants with bright yellow flowers about three inches wide. The edible tu- bers form in the fall and look like knobby potatoes. If you are planning to harvest some of these tubers, watch the flowers. About six weeks after the flowers have died, you can begin digging the roots, just like potatoes. Store them in a cool dry place. The Jerusalem artichoke is high in food value and minerals. It's principle food content is inulin, which is converted to levu- lose sugar. Lcvulose is highly nutritious and the sweetest of all known natural sugars. It is usually found with dextrose, but is all alone in these. To cook Jerusalem artichokes, I normally just wash them, boil them for 10-15 minutes, then allow them to cool and peel off the skin. Then I put them back on to boil until they are fork tender and serve them with butter.
