I had red elderberry show up out of nowhere on my Northern Michigan property, a few years ago. I now have several bushes, thanks to the birds, and finally got a small harvest (those birds also eat the berries so I have to be quick). I loved the simple recipe, and so glad I found this channel!
That’s awesome. I’m glad you found the channel too! :)
Put a screen door screen (cut out lol) over and around the bushes ❤
@@stacie444 actually, RED elderberry are kind of a pain to process, and aren't as tasty as the black ones, but the flowers are beautiful, bountiful, tasty, and beneficial, so I now harvest the red elderberry flowers, before they turn into berries, but I leave some for the birds.
Thank you so much for coming out to our place and doing this adventure with us! I’ve been so curious to see if we could do anything with these elderberries. They’ve continued to ripen so I had to go out and pick more berries as soon as I saw the video. Also, to get a mushroom ID lesson and find we have some tasty eats here with those as well was very exciting! Thank you so much for the adventure and showing me how to utilize these berries!
You made it all possible 😉
Very informative,delightful video!
Thanks!
Thanks so much for this video! I have been on the fence about planting elderberries in my garden for so long, especially that they are native here to the areas of California that are inland of the fog belt on the immediate coast. Those areas are bone dry all throughout the hot summer in terms of both precipitation and humidity, so low-water plants are important. Since they are native here, there require little to no intentional watering, which saves the environment and more importantly saves money. Thanks for letting me know that they taste good, so I get a free all-natural non-cultivated local variety of food that is also fresh! Furthermore, since it's so sunny here, I can just put the berries in an extremely simple passive solar oven to cook them in order to destroy the naturally occurring toxic biological compounds, which means I don't even have to pay for electricity, gas, or the expensive up-front purchase of solar panels!
I’m glad you found it helpful! Native plants are great. 😊
Right on, I have a tree out back and have been dreading trying making anything but now I think I will, thanks for the experiment!
I’m glad it inspired you. Good luck! :)
Nice presentation
Thank you!
Why is it important to remove the stems?
The stems contain quite a lot of toxins and are poisonous.
Higher CG content in the stems but cooking does minimize/eliminate the CGs.
You lost a dog? You mean on the trail? Did you find the dog again and the other person?
Yes, we did misplace a dog and a person for a while. The dog wandered off exploring, and the person ended up in a different spot. But in the end all were found. :)
@@DeepWoodsDietitian Ohh good I'm so glad you found the dog and person.
