The mesquite beans make a wonderful jelly too, just don’t keep the jelly, even sealed, over 10 months, it turns black, as does the honey. I agree TEXOKIE, mesquite has a wonderful flavor for cooking. Mac & cheese are improved when baked in a pit using mesquite.
OH my goodness...had not heard about the jelly...nor of its turning black. We never did the mac and cheese over mesquite, but I can imagine it is wonderful!
AFter posting the previous, I have the question regarding the turned-black jelly. You state it should be thrown out...but I’m wondering if that would be necessary? I’m wondering what would account for the change.
Just curious.
