Eating Aloe

Is Aloe edible? Well, here’s a recipe….

Poached Aloe Recipe
2 large aloe leaves peeled and cubed (about 1 lbs)
1 C sugar
Juice of 1 lime

Not a lot of ingredients. I recommend reading the instructions that go with it. It’s a bit complicated for those of us who don’t like to cook anything more complicated that scrambled eggs or baked potatoes. Not that I can’t also cook things that are more complicated, I just choose not to. I’m a big fan of one-pan dinners. Throw it all together and see what comes out.

But then there’s aloe.

I’m not saying it’s not delicious, I’m just saying you’d never get me to try.

And did you know that I have a category for recipes on the right side column? We’ve posted lots of succulent and cactus recipes over the years. And lots of tequila drinks too. Check it out.
