Elderberry Time




 Elderberries, finally. Three years after they were planted, 9 plants from NRCS have produced a good crop. Now to make something. Ripeness is the key, dark as dark can be is best for the flavor. Making syrup is quite easy, more so than using a fork to remove the berries from the stems. The syrup is the most useful and is adding gorgeous color, sweet fruity flavor and health benefits to everything it is added to. What a great fruit to grow!
