[Sca-cooks] Sumac recipes request

Lucrezia asked:

There is this file in the PLANTS,HERBS AND SPICES section of the  
Florilegium which has some general information about sumac, including  
the different types of sumac. Unfortunately, there are no recipes in  
this file. But if you use the search engine on the site, you will  
find quite a number of references to sumac. Some are for things like  
dyeing leather, but I believe there is at least one recipe in these  
other files.

sumac-msg         (15K) 12/29/99    Period uses of sumac. Identiying it.

(oh yes, and I'd advise against using any sumac which has white  
berries in your recipes. :-) )
