RE: THE EDIBLE OUTDOORS #12 - Elderberry
I made some delicious elderberry syrup the other day with elderberries i foraged. I froze them first to make them easier to remove, and then juiced them once i picked them off the stem and got rid of most of the twigs and stems leftover. Then i juiced them along with an apple and some ginger, and simmered with honey, boiling it down until it was a nice syrup consistency. Awesome in greek yogurt, or on waffles.
Excellent. Planting food producing plants and reaping a harvest has its own kind of rewarding feeling, but foraging certainly gives you a good feeling too. Man, it sounds like you know how to make some serious syrup. I'll let my wife know. Thanks!
