Celebrating the Elderberry

My kitchen is the center for the Elderberry celebration. What comes out of it will be Elderberry Syrup (flu and cold prevention and treatment), Elderberry Jam, and Elderberry pie (to make Bob happy).

The first picking and cleaning was last night. It takes longer to remove the berries from the stems than it does to pick them. It looks like there will be a second picking in several weeks. We have to keep watch over the ripening berries or the bad birds will get them.

My hands are purple, the kitchen smells good, and I am a happy girl. (smile)
