We went down into the bottomland and along the creek we harvested maybe 5 pounds of beautiful, big fat and juicy elderberry fruit! It was a real chore to clean them all off and pick out the green fruits and the bits of stems (and bugs!) But we did and have a nice pan of berries.
Now, Trish wants to make syrup with it so that we can have it over the winter for cold and flu prevention. All the online recipes I could find only talk about using dried elderberries. Has anyone every made elderberry syrup using fresh berries? If so, please share your tips with us!
