jbnizzle:
  anybody know how to make smilax root jelly? I've made it before but it's not what all the rave is about.
 Also read you can make bread from it .

stickbender:


     Never heard of it.  What is it, and where does it grow?

RidgeRunner:
I have eaten the early shoots off smilax plants.  Thay are not to bad raw.  Some are better that others.

As far as I know smilax jelly does not have much of a taste of its own.  Sort of flat.
Smilax roots are used to make other things "jell".   Things like strawberries or blackberries.

Wayne:
Smilax is what we call Green Briers or Saw Briers.

stickbender:

     Ok thanks, Ridgerunner.  ......uh whut are those kind o briars?  any pictures?

RidgeRunner:
No pictures.  Run it through google.
It grows all over this part of the word.  Especially in the woods.
