Pineapple Sage Advice

 It finally bloomed!  The wait for my Pineapple Sage Pound Cake is over.  I didn't think it would be the end of October until they blossomed out, I thought it would be more like the end of September.  

Pineapple Sage is used for all kinds of things, delicious things.  It is good to brew as a tea, I have dried some for that purpose.  It is good in poultry dishes, pestos, flavourings for lemonade, smoothies and etc.  Plenty of uses!
