  • Yup..we wash them..AND a little leaf or stem is not a big deal. In processing 20 pounds, it is nearly impossible...which is why we pick the blue variety..(CAREFUL with the red berry type)

  • Great video, I am wondering if you could process the syrup and it would last longer unrefrigerated...I am gonna see if elderberries grow in RI!

  • @MaStErPhReSh333 lol go pluck elder

  • 0:07, go fuck elder...?

  • I was under the impression that this was a syrup for pancakes and waffles. Is it just for colds and illness?

  • Here in Florida I see elderberry all the time, it does look a lot like queen anne's lace and some like hemlock at least the flowers do. I strain my berry's if I'm doing a lot with panty hose. Hopefully I can find a new pair to do it with.... for obvious reasons...lol Elderberry makes the best pies great taste and good texture. And wonderful for you.... :-)

  • where can you find elderberries? I have never seen them in the wild.

  • Apparently, it's okay to use sambucus elderberry combined with Osha root?

  • yes, it does sound like you have to be careful: Because of the cyanogenic potential of the leaves, extracts of the plant may be used in foods, provided hydrogen cyanide levels do not exceed 25 ppm in the flavor. Toxicity in children who used peashooters made from elderberry stems has been reported

  • very nice, I like the idea of using honey as apposed to making a simple syrup using white table sugar and boiling...nice!
