Depending on your location you may still find Elderberries for the picking. If you're in Northern California you're probably in luck. Here in Central PA, I'll be picking more today for a second batch of jelly. Elderberries are too bitter to be eaten raw, but after cooking and sweetening them a bit, they have a rich berry flavor. Let us know if you try preserving and using them in your kitchen! Hello Jill!

I haven't yet picked elderberries but I think that I will see if they are still around. I knew that you could use them medicinally but didn't realize that they made good pies. I am inspired -- and it's another way to use my pressure cooker. Thanks. It’s amazing what is growing out in the world and how some people don’t even use what they have.
