we have wild elderberry bushes on our property. I cut them off in bunches, then I’ve found that the easiest way to destem them, is to rake the tines of a fork through them, while you are holding them over a bowel. I just stumbled upon your site…lovely!

Elderberries are not edible raw. A handful might be okay but any more than that and you’re likely to wind up with stomach cramps and vomiting.

thanks for the recipe!

You can replace elderberries for blueberries in some recipes like blueberry muffins. Elderberry muffins are my favorite, and the little seed in each berry gives a tiny crunch.
