Elderberries ripen late summer to early autumn. Perfect for syrups, jams, cordials, and tea.
Tips:- Pick fully ripe dark berries only
- Use scissors to harvest clusters
- Wear old clothes — juice stains!
- Never eat raw berries
Simple Elderberry Syrup:
- 1 cup fresh or ½ cup dried elderberries
- 3 cups water
- 1–2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- Optional: 1 tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp cloves
- 1 cup raw honey
