Pine cone syrup??

[Nubsnstubs]

@sprucegum, since you are a syrup make or related to one, have you ever made Maple Syrup with pine cones? I ask because of a couple videos of people in the Carpathians going out and collecting cones and canning them. Yesterdays video title was the first mention of what the cones were for. Curiosity is taking over and I need to find out if it's made here. Don't want any, but just curious.
I looked online, and there are recipes available. .............. Nubs

It's not something that I am familiar with. I'm not sure if any parts of Eastern White pine cones are edible.

Never heard of any pine cone syrup recipes out this way either. Can't imagine a pine cone tasting any good unless you're a squirrel or porcupine.
