Friend use to bring me several gallons of elderberriies so I could make jelly. I got 1/2 he got 1/2. This year he said the patch was gone. Owner of the property doesn't know what happened as the ground is in CPS.
 
They are a little past their prime here in central IL but could still pick a few.

Anybody know how to make them into syrup. Used to do it when we were kids but now no one really remebers how.
 
You are breaking my heart. My favorite pie in the whole world is elderberry pie. My grandma used to make several for me each year. I could consume a whole elderberry pie at one sitting. My first wife used to send me berries from her bush every year so I coud make a pie but she went to be with the Lord on June 6 this year. I know there are elderberries in these parts but have not found them yet and nnot sure about the unedible ones. Henry
 
We just used to use if for pancakes. It turns the pancakes green and has a good flavor. Didn't know about the remedies but it does make really good wine.
 
Here you go Henry. If I could email you a piece I would but I am afraid that the berries would clog my phone line.

bill m,
If you just pick the largest nice and ripe bunches it makes the cleaning a lot easier. I put them in water in the sink and then pull the berries off of the stems by rolling them between my fingers. It is fairly easy but takes time to get a bowl full because of their small size.
