Naturally speaking
Eating the similar bush
By Steve Cooke
The Sumac bush is not often thought
of as being edible in any form. The fact that
, just about everyone has heard about poison
sumac does not enhance its reputation
either. '
In truth, however, the red berries of the
staghorn sumac make a delightful drink.
The poison sumac is readily distinguished
by its fruit which' grows in drooping
clusters and is ivory white in colour.
The staghorn sumac, which is generally
agreed to be the best, has a thick furry
covering on the stems and the bright, red
berries grow in upright cone shaped
clusters.
The sumacs are quite common and can
usually be found growing in open areas in
poor 'soil (gravelly soils being preferred).
Its penchant for growing alongside roads
make it an ideal fruit for foragers.
Indians used the sumac in a variety of
ways. The leaves were smoked by the
Indians, either alone or mixed with ,
Itobae'66,-andlliF berries used to make a
tart drink. Bart ram reported in his
description of travel with the Indians that,
"Creek and Cherokee Indiaos rubbed the
fury covering of.the sumac fruits into their
hair, then tied it up with a handkerchief for
overnight. in the. morning the hair was
cOmbed out and clear bear's oil was used
as a 'dressing," He attributed this
treatment to preserving the rich black
colour and splendor of the hair,
Sumac can be gathered from late
summer till late winter and apparently
keeps extremely well under almost any
condition. In preparing sumac berries,
always'steep them in hot water. Boiling the
fruit releases tannic acid which will cause it
to become very bitter.
To make that favorite old Indian tea,
simply steep one fruit cluster in two cups of
hot water, strain and sweeten to taste with
maple sugar or syrup.
An interesting borscht can be made by
steeping 2 •fruit clusters in 2 cups of hot
water for 15 minutes, Strain the juice, stir
in 2 tablespoOns of raw sugar and chill.
Serve this concoction in bowls, topped off
with Sour cream.
A delicious sauce for poached eggs, fish
or green vegetables can also be made. Melt
4 tablespoons of butter in a frying pan over
low heat and eadually stir in 3 tablespoons
of unbleached white flour. Then slowly stir
in 1 1/2 cups of sumac juice as prepared
above but minus the sour cream. Serve as
is on poached eggs, or pour over fish or
vegetables, sprinkle on grated parmesan
cheese and pop under the broiler for 3 to 4
minutes.
As I mentioned, these fruits are
available all winter, so if you're having
company over some night. treat them to
something a little different. I would advise,
however,' to try it once .or twice yourself
first, just to get the' techniques down pat.
