Outdoorcooking during swedish autumn
There’s a thin crisp to the air and a stillness to the woods we’re walking through. A stillness only to be found in early autumn. Red lingon-berries are gleaming like rubies from the lower bushes.
All together we collect them and find ourselves a sunny bank by the small lake. There we make camp, cooking a traditional swedish Råraka (potatoe pancake) and making jam from the berries that we’ve just collected.
Stories of the past circles around the fire., while yellow leaves are falling. We can hear a black woodpecker drumming and calling. It’s a good day to be outdoors in Tiveden.
