Elderberries and Red Clover

It’s elderberry season … I foraged these from an abandoned yard in the middle of the city and there was a thick patch of red clover near by, as well, so I picked a big bag of that.

Every summer I make elderberry elixirs ahead of winter. It’s great for when I can feel myself getting a cold …a dose of this seems to stave it off.

The dark shine of the berries is so beautiful. Here they are soaking in my kitchen sink before processing.
