Definitely don't want red dye in our food.<br /><br />Unknown, usnea has a lot of medicinal uses. I've seen photos of big, beautiful tufts of it in the Pacific NW. Not sure if the Southeast and PNW are its only habitat.

Not fun!<br />DebbieUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11719499030188672096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5702232733892626337.post-47487987787772692842017-02-27T08:43:22.113-05:002017-02-27T08:43:22.113-05:00You sure keep yourself busy Laurie!

I'd caution you on using the red canning jar, sometimes they use that paint/dye to color them and it comes off, especially under canning conditions, and who knows what the dye is made of? I have not heard if the canning jar companies have made any red canning jars, so far just the blue, green and lavender ones, but then I don't keep up on the canning jar trends. Ha! Hope it stays warm enough not to harm the fruit trees!<br /><br />Hugs<br />JaneJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851312702044308420noreply@blogger.com
