Mesquite Harvest is On
Originally uploaded by mikeysklar
Sesame and I went out to our local mesa top for a bit of mesquite gathering this morning. We found hundreds of plants that were just starting to drop pods which was just what we wanted. I have been collecting the pods in fabric bags and dropping the entire bag in the sun oven for six hours at 150F when I return. The goal is to dry the pods to the point where they will grind easily into flour.

So when you do that do you grind the whole pod or do you break them up and get the beans out then grind?
It would be cool to gather mesquite wood and build a smoker and smoke some home made cheese.
