I have shoved one of these candied pine cones into a truffle made of California Laurel Bay nuts (Taste of coffee & chocolate)and then rolled into toasted Pine nuts! and now It's called a woodland truffle....goes well with a bourbon on the rocks! Thank you for posting this inspiring video
Most of the terpenes in pinecones are also naturally occurring in cannabis, the most noticeable one being alpha-Pinene and beta-Pinene. “Easily recognizable for its sweet pine aroma, pinene may play a role in fighting inflammation and boosting memory, along with offering an emerging option for the biofuel industry” -Dr. Adie Rae
It's better to keep them in a water for the whole night at least. Just to reduce a bitterness in. 2 hours of boiling is enough. The perfect taste can be obtained with involving of lemon juice or slices or/and with pine nuts.
The outer layers must still be green and under developed or they will never soften - when you squeeze them between your fingers they should be soft enough to break even when raw
@@londonchef thanks for your reply! I followed your recipe and the cones themselves are not edible after 3 hours of simmering. The syrup tastes amazing though so I will leave the cones in there and use the syrup only. Cheers!
Can you do this with cypress tree cones? I gathered a ton of them before actually looking up and seeing I was gathering cones from a cypress tree and not pine tree.
I wonder if something other than white sugar can be used (so unhealthy). Also I wonder if they can be slow-cooked since boiling kills some of the nutrients.
Great questions! When it comes to using healthier sugar alternatives like honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar as substitutes for white sugar in the recipe, they bring their own unique flavors and, in some cases, additional nutrients. Regarding cooking and nutrient loss, it’s worth noting that certain cooking methods can reduce the nutrient content in some foods. However, in the case of baby pinecones, it’s essential to consider the specific cooking method and duration. Gentle cooking methods often preserve more nutrients, and it’s possible for beneficial compounds like polyphenols to still be present even after cooking. However, it’s important to be aware that, when it comes to glucose response, all sugars, regardless of their source, have a similar effect on blood sugar levels. So, even when using healthier sugar alternatives, moderation is key, especially if you have concerns about glucose response. In the case of these healthier sugars, the primary benefits often come from their unique flavors and the presence of polyphenols, which can have various health benefits. If you have more questions or need specific information on any healthy sugar alternatives or cooking techniques, feel free to ask!
early/mid/late spring is all good I just picked some over the weekend. Also, early/mid-June should still be good, but that's pushing into summer, so try to get them during spring. I missed last year and had to wait all the way until this spring to get some, so don't be like me last year and miss it this year lol
Idk where are you living, but for hardiness zone 6 it's NOW the time to harvest green pinecones (they are as big as not cracked walnut, in May they were of a size of chickpea or cracked hazelnut). It's actually a bit late, I wanted to harvest them 3 weeks ago, but was too busy for that. Still, I hope they will turn out fine as they are still very green. 💚

Uhhhhhh 😳 that sounds amazing
California bay laurel nuts also have a very potent stimulant in them- not certain if it's caffeine or some other compound. Don't eat too many at once!
@@anthonybortolazzo These Woodland Truffles are exquisite!
@@wenwren Thanks for the info!
You lost me at shoved a pine cone into honestly…
Yippee! Finally a pine cone video! well done
Am really busy collecting pollen, Awasum.. You leave my mouth watering for more.
Excellente recette.merci 🏆🏆🏆
omg, can’t wait to try this ❤ thank you
I noticed a tree near me producing these little pine cones and wondered if they were edible! Sure enough! I may have to try this. :)
Would the water they've steeped in over night be useful for anything?
Wait!!!! I’ve been making pine cone syrup and throwing the pine cones out!!! I feel so silly now! Thanks for sharing.
Oh just love it! Ty!💖
You have the most interesting recipes ❤
thank you!
thanks for sharing ♥️👍🇿🇦
Unreal 😲

Wow!
i have some the size of a thumb pad and theyre not super soft but theyre mildly sticky do you think i could at least make syrup?
Yes I think you can make the syrup no problem
Job well done. Very informative.
Thank you!!
It's better to keep them in a water for the whole night at least. Just to reduce a bitterness in. 2 hours of boiling is enough. The perfect taste can be obtained with involving of lemon juice or slices or/and with pine nuts.
so 2 hours of boiling, then let sit in the water/jar for the night (at least)?
How long will they stay good in the jar? Does it have to be refrigerated?
If the jars a sterilised they should last a while!
I found some pine cones that are about the size of my thumb, would this work for them, perhaps cook them for longer?

All species of pine are edible - unsure about cypress tree
Amazing facts. Never knew about the pine cone health benefits. Thanks
Not just the pine cone but the whole tree! Thanks for watching!
@@londonchef Just not Ponderosa's!
Do all the health benefits remain intact even after boiling them for 3 hours? And can you eat them raw? Lovely video, would love to try them!
obviously not. Also, something being anti viral or anti bacterial, yet being 99% sugar, makes no sense.
Do you know how long after you see the male flower that you will find the green young pinecones?
How long can this store for? Once opened how long in the fridge can it stay?
Realistically they are preserved so months or even years
I came across this video while searching for mugolio recipes. Have you tried mugolio (pine cone) syrup?
Yes it’s delicious
me too i believe he is basically making mugolio anyway. Basically making the pinecones edible and the syrup can still be stored and kept
I got some very large pine cones the size of a fist. Do these also work?
No, but you could shave them very thin and cook them or eat them raw

What other sugar can you use? Mollases?
You could use any sugar that you want, but would affect the flavour!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Do you think this could be done in a slow cooker?
so how di u keep it can it be canned or just frig what?
I keep them in the fridge In a kiln jar
what time of the year should we expect to harvest the young pinecones?
Around End of April / start of may
Hello! Which app was that that identified the type of pine?
It’s called ‘picture this’
what is a sub for caster sugar?
Would it not taste like wood
What month should I pick them?
early/mid/late spring is all good I just picked some over the weekend. Also, early/mid-June should still be good, but that's pushing into summer, so try to get them during spring. I missed last year and had to wait all the way until this spring to get some, so don't be like me last year and miss it this year lol
Came here after seeing a Russian girl eating pine cones
Instead of having to harvest these, is there a place I can buy them from online? I'll do the cooking, I just need the green pine cones.
I don’t this so! They are everywhere though!
@@londonchef I just worked so hard to get these out of a tree because I saw it at the park. I hope it’s worth it I just started boiling it 😅
Local and fresh is best. Just take a walk in the spring, and carry a bag or basket to forage things.
I...Did not think it would be remotely possible for someone to confuse a pine tree with a yew tree. But i guess there are just some people out there.
Thank you! Thinking of this for a plant-based xmas recipe if I can still find green pinecones nearby (or I will patiently wait till next year).
That’s a great idea!! Such amazing flavour! Almost citrusy like clementines - perfect for Xmas

Christmas… gotta keep Christ in it
Mt pine cones never got soft enough to eat and the syrup got super hard like candy...help what do I do
I would say they were maybe too large?

Reminds me of Russian pinecone jam
Very similar
The male fertilizing the female😏
Yo try to have it all more zoomed out and get a better microphone and then this will be superb
Yew trees or bush
Or is it kinda wood

Traditional for you but new, to many of us.
