I recently located a grove of mature (grafted superior high-sugar-content
pods) honey locust. The ripe pods I collected off the ground today each
produce a tablespoon or more of sweet/tart, gooey, delicious-smelling pulp
when squeezed.
Does anyone have any experience processing this stuff? I tasted some fresh
from the pod and it's surprisingly good. I collected only 6 or 8 pods, but
I'm tempted to go back and get more if someone can recommend a good way to
harvest and use this stuff. My "Edible wild plants" books contain no
information of value on this tree.
I haven't yet dug out any seeds, but I understand these are also edible...
Here's a pic: http://goo.gl/CyhDR
BTW, best site I've found so far with info on honey locust use was this
one:

Thanks all -
