Red Flower Sauce: Part I

A few weeks ago, I collected flowers with a village friend for a sauce we later made together. Since I have a number of photos for this process, today I will just post the flower part and save the cooking of the sauce for a future post.

This is the tree that produced the flowers for our sauce. We collected the flowers that fell on the ground.

Many flowers for our sauce

We separated the bottom part of the flower from the petals. Only the bottoms are used for the sauce.

We set the flower bottoms aside for a few days to dry.
Several weeks later, the flowers were all gone from the tree. Good thing we collected them in time!
