Elderberries!

[Pablo]

For unknown geezer reasons I planted two elderberry sticks. Supposed to mate and make berries on both bushes.

Started harvesting

No concept on how/what to make so syrup it is

Taste is different, but good

Do these have thorns like your gooseberries??

We used to make grape syrup from backyard Jersey grapes.
Elderberry Wine is an Elton John song.
People in Scandinavia commonly render syrup from berries.

Nope! They do grow like weeds though

Are they sweet, sour, similar to anything else?

Alone low sweetness

A little cherrylike but slightly vegetative not similar to other things

 

[UncleDave]

Nice.
Hot water canned?

Are these tart like cranberries?

 

[Pablo]

Nice.
Hot water canned?

No. Boiling syrup, low Aw, high acid no chance of botulism plus will freeze and or refrigerate

 

[Pablo]

Are these tart like cranberries?

No they are tart but more juicy different

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

Stimulates the immune system, ramping up cytokine production. Beneficial yo thise eith those who have a functionjbgbimmube system but could potentially backfire if you are on immuno-suppressants.

Elderberry syrup, wine and schnapps!

How much oil would you accept in exchange for one jar of your custom syrup?

 

[daves87rs]

Sounds good!

Since this is primarily a car forum I feel it's appropriate to tell this story. When I was a kid there was a Chevy dealer that had Aunt Penny as a spokeswoman and you would get a jar of her elderberry jelly with every car purchase. I did a search and came across this reddit post that describes the debacle a lot better than I ever could. I remember watching these commercials in the late 90's being creeped out by Aunt Penny standing next to a brand new 1978 Monte Carlo knowing she was long dead.
