Ummmm this is well, different. I mean, you thought you were doing good by the environment by recycling the tree but eating it? If you haven’t tossed it out yet…

There’s a new cookbook out called “How to Eat Your Christmas Tree” . It features dozens of recipes you can make using your tree.  The Christmas-Cured Fish uses almost a pound of needles for decoration and flavoring. The Christmas Tree Pickles, you throw a handful of needles into a jar with your pickles for a month. There’s even ICE CREAM flavored with blue spruce needles and ginger.
