The flowers and berries are edible, but not the leaves or bark, they are poisonous!  So if your not sure on which ones to Harvest out in the wild. Its always good to go with a professional your first time out!

The Elderberry has quite a history.  Probably as far back as you can imagine.  Stone Age you ask?  Yup!  Even as far back as that!   Its main use is to support the Immune System.  The American Indians used it as a Tonic and a food source for making wine and syrup.

In our modern times we still use the berries for all kinds of things; wine, food, cough syrup, tinctures, cordials, teas...etc.

 

Elderberry Syrup Recipe

1 cup Fresh Elderberries or 1/2 cup of dried Elderberries

3 cups of water

1 cup raw honey

1 Cinnamon stick

3 Cloves

1 Ginger root (the size of your thumbnail)

1 Orange rind (from a whole orange)

1. In a medium size saucepan, put in berries, water and spices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer.  Simmer for at least 30 minutes.

2. Then smash the berries in the saucepan to get more of the good stuff out.  Strain the juice over a bowel and allow to cool, then add the honey, stir.

3. This syrup will keep for 2-3 months if you store it in the fridge only.
