If memory serves me properly I recall you said somewhere (probably
in NCL, not here) that you were from Lutsel K'e originally. That
would make us practically neighbours and perhaps even related
through my in-laws.

     Title: Candied Burdock Root
Categories: Wild, Vegetables, Preserving, Dehydrator, Candy
  Servings: 1 batch

      3 lb Fresh burdock root
    3/4 c  Maple syrup, Grade B

Gather at least 3 pounds of burdock root. Cut it into easy to work
with pieces, maybe 6 inches long. Peel it. Then chop the pith into
thin slices, less than 1/4 inch in thickness and put the slices into
a bowl. Pour grade B maple syrup over the contents of the bowl. All
you need is enough to partly cover the burdock slices. Toss to mix.

If you don't own a dehydrator you can use the lowest setting of your
oven and leave the door somewhat ajar. I think this would sun dry
nicely as well.

Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the dehydrator tray. Make sure
each piece of burdock is completely covered with syrup on each side,
place a single layer of separated from each other pieces on the
parchment paper (no touching) and let it dehydrate for 12 hours.
Then turn each piece and let it dehydrate for another 12 hours.
You will know it is done when the maple syrup no longer is
liquid. It dries beyond tacky and somewhat crystallized.

Pull the parchment paper out of the dehydrator and let the contents
fall into a bowl. Sometimes I had to bend back the paper to dislodge
the now candied burdock.

Once the maple burdock cools, you can separate each piece and you
have a nice and chewy bowl of candy.
