Christmas trees aren't just for trimming anymore! Holiday-happy chefs now cook with clippings of pine, spruce and fir---and you can too! Evergreen sprigs taste woodsy, similar to rosemary, and have that unmistakable scent of winter.
Try this at home:
1. Toss pine sprigs with roasted vegetables while they're still hot from the oven.
2. Grind 1/2 cup each spruce tips and kosher salt with 1/4 cup coriander seeds and use as a spice rub for beef or lamb.
3. Soak spruce overnight in 2 cups honey, then brush onto cooked chicken or turkey skin. ENJOY!
