One beautiful elderberry bush stands in the meadow this year...a new resident.The white flowers can be brewed into wines and champagne, or you can lightly batter and fry into fritters, or try stirring them into pancake batter!
The ripe berries, cleaned and cooked, can be made into wine, extracts, syrups, pies, and jams. I made elderberry wine in the old days, my mouth waters to think of it. I used a Foley food mill to separate the seeds from the pulp. If you make elderberry wine and need someone to test it, I stand ready.
