Elderberries
- Bulgaria
Elderberries (Sambucus nigra) are small, dark purple berries traditionally harvested in late summer. Once dried, they become a versatile ingredient for the homestead kitchen and apothecary.
These tart, richly flavored berries are perfect for making jams, jellies, pies, syrups, cordials, and wines. They are also commonly brewed into teas or tincture bases and pair well with warming spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. A true seasonal staple, dried elderberries have been cherished across Europe and North America for centuries in both food and craft traditions.
