I used to make mock apple rings and can then in the fall. I have lost my recipe.
Hopefully you will be able to find one for me. They are made using large cucumbers,
core out the seeds and slice them to resemble apple rings - they also have red hot
cinnamon candies in them. Thank you so much for your help.

Subject: sassafras tea
What the hell is safroled? I'm looking for plain old sassafras bark to make tea why can't I find it?
David
Hello David,
Safrole is the essential oil found in sassafras bark. It has been shown to be a possible carcinogen in large quantities, and as a result,
sassafras bark and extracts were taken off the market for a while. More recent testing showed that sassafras was not harmful in moderate
quantities, so now it's possible to buy filé gumbo powder and sassafras bark again.
It took me only a few minutes to find the four online sources below for sassafras bark. You might also find it in a health food store.
cedarvale
selectoils
worldspice
innerlites.com
"Pappy's" makes a safrole-free sassafras extract.

Whiz Burger was bought out by Artic Circle and closed the chain. BUT, you can still have
one of them in your own home. All you need is their famous sauce. Well, here it is!
Whiz Burger's(secret) Sauce
Best Foods/Hellman's mayomaise
Dill pickle juice
French's yellow mustard
It only contained these three ingredients.
To make put a measure of mayo in a bowl. Add mustard to color. add a small amount of dill
pickle juice. adjust mustard and dill pickle juice to taste. That is how they did it then
and the only way I know. That's it.
