Can I Turn a Bunch of Pinecones into a Cake? | Eating Trees

You know pine cones, you love pine cones, but did you know, you can use them to make syrup??

It's true! AND it's super easy! Watch along to learn how to make pine cone syrup and to kick it up several notches, I take a batch of the syrup to make a pine cone flavored cake and make a rotating cake stand out of pine wood.

Lots to see in this episode so I really hope you enjoy it!

Pine cone syrup recipe:

Combine equal parts (by weight) pine cones and sugar (turbinado works well, but you can use any kind) in a jar and let sit until sugar is fully dissolved.

Then to process simply add to a saucepan and boil for a few minutes, strain into a sanitized jar, and enjoy!
