"This recipe is adapted from one by Native American scholar E. Barrie Kavasch.Many of the first Europeans to come to America were city dwellers; few knew how to grow and hunt for food. The Native Americans taught them how to grow foods such as squash and pumpkins , how to forage for herbs and edible plants, and how to tap the sweet sap from maple trees."
