Comfrey salve, step 1
I like having comfrey
salve on hand for scratches, but I haven't made any since 2012.
Why? I made way too much my first time out of the gate! This time, I've
resolved to start with no more than a quarter cup of oil, which I hope
will last only a year or two instead rather than six.
Step 1: Cut tender young
comfrey leaves and pack into a jar. Pour olive oil over top of them and
let sit for two to six weeks.
Step 2: Check back in
June to see!

My comfrey had purple flowers. I see yours are white. I will be checking in to see how your salve comes along. I need to get my oil started but being sick this year has put me behind on everything.
