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.

Select Herb Needed & Size

Herbs are legally sold by the ounce but often we get asked how many cups are in a bag.

This herb has an approximate average of 5 cups per pound.

Dried elderberries can be:

  • Steeped into teas or blended with other botanicals
  • Cooked into jams, jellies, pies, and baked goods
  • Simmered into syrups or cordials with honey or sugar
  • Added to wines or liqueurs for traditional brewing
  • Blended with warming spices for cozy, seasonal recipes

Store in an airtight container away from temperature extremes and sunlight.

Berries / Fruit

Elderberries should always be cooked before use. Raw elderberries, leaves, and stems may contain naturally occurring compounds that can cause stomach upset. Consult a qualified healthcare provider before use if pregnant, nursing, or managing a medical condition.

This is a great option to make your own tea for your kids with a bit of honey. I mix it with other Farmhouse teas to keep ahead of a cold.
