    Savory herbs do surprisingly well in sweet things sometimes... I shared this quick recipe on Instagram last year after a reader suggested pairing sage and chocolate. It sounded like an interesting combo. I already loved basil and chocolate, and tarragon in cake, and lots of other herb and fruit combinations, plus I have sage growing in the garden just a few steps away, so gave it a try in this nice cream and loved it, too.

    Chocolate & Sage Nice Cream (Raw, Dairy-Free, Fruit-Sweetened)

    Sage has a wonderful woodsy, piney, somehow almost minty and musky deep flavor, and it accents the chocolate very well. I'd only used this herb in savory things until that point, but this combo was so refreshing, so adding it to the blog collection to give the recipe a permanent home.

      One of my favorite things about growing herbs is that it inspires (and forces) me to use them up in funky new creative ways like this! And black mulberries?? Didn't know that was a thing! t need to start doing this as well, giving a blog spot to just the randomly delicoius things I throw on IG :)

        Hehe. Yes, I picked up dried black mulberries ages ago. To be honest, I prefer the white ones when dried (especially considering the black are more expensive too). But I grew up on fresh black mulberries and those are super delicious.
