You're speaking my language -- can't wait for nettles to arrive in PA. Love her idea of nettles as a clam sauce. Thank you Kate!

Ashley, thanks for this! And thanks also for mentioning that nettles are a fiber plant--once, a source as important as flax. Here's an article that describes nettle processing. https://www.motherearthnews.com/diy/turning-nettles-into-textiles-zbcz2101/

Great find Kate! I really am quite fond of nettles and the clam sauce sounds wonderful! It’s also great to hear of another way to freeze my most favorite local food source!
