How To make Acorns
Ingredients
1
cup
butter, melted
3/4
cup
brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2
cups
pecans, fine, chopped, divided
2 1/2
cups
flour, sifted, all-purpose
1/2
teaspoon
baking powder
1
cup
semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
This is an easy yet elegant butter-pecan cookie shaped to resemble an acorn and dipped in melted chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, beat together butter, brown sugar, 3/4 cup chopped pecans and vanilla on medium speed until well blended. Add flour and baking powder and mix well, using low speed.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Slightly flatten by pressing balls onto un-greased cookie sheets; pinch tops to point to resemble acorns. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees F. Remove from oven and cool on wire racks.
In top of a double boiler over simmering water, melt chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat; keep double boiler over water.
Dip large ends of cooled cookies into melted chocolate, then roll in chopped pecans. Cool to set chocolate.
Yield: 3 dozen.

How to make FLOUR from ACORNS
In Part 3 of the Acorn Bread series, we'll be learning how to leach our acorns and grind them into flour! Acorns contain tannins which are not good if consumed in excess and further are bitter and astringent.
Leaching is the process of removing those tannins which will yield acorn flour that will make delicious and healthy bread!
Huge thanks to the channel, Insteading, for providing the Hot Leaching method footage! See their fantastic Acorn Foraging and Eating video here -

Maple-Roasted Acorn Squash #shorts
Acorn squash roasted with maple cinnamon butter is so comforting in the winter months. It’s a sweet and savory side dish that is simple enough for a weeknight with Roast Chicken and stunning on a holiday table alongside a Juicy Roast Turkey.

How to harvest acorns for FOOD
Acorns, my gateway drug to foraging. Here we have one of the most abundant sources of wild food on the planet! The only catch is, we can't eat them straight off the ground, they require some processing. In this series, we're going to go through every step of the journey of turning acorns into bread!
Part 1 shows us the fastest way to harvest acorns without any special equipment. We also learn different methods to sort our harvest, leaving behind only the good acorns, and last we'll dry them for long-term storage.
We are so excited that you're joining us on this journey!
