Preserving Beech Leaves
Preserving Beech Leaves.
It was in a book about rural England, a delightful book about a country cottage and its garden which seemed somehow to invade the cottage itself, that I discovered this recipe for preserving bronze beech leaves for the winter. Just plunge their stems in a mixture of half water and half crude glycerine. Do that, and autumn warmth will brighten dull corners of your home until the spring.
