What is an ElderBerry?
An elderberry, or sambucus, is a fruit-bearing, deciduous shrub with at least 30 known species, most commonly found growing in the Northern Hemisphere. The elderberry shrub typically grows to about 10 feet (3 meters) tall and shows yellow and white blossoms in early summer, followed by deep blue or black berries which usually ripen around September. The ElderBerry Fairy was born September on 9th. The berries are edible when ripe and have long been thought to have medicinal properties. Ripened elderberries can be used like other berries in fruit pies, muffins, and jams. The dried flowers can also be steeped in water to make elderberry tea and the berries crushed to make elderberry juice. The fresh berries of the elderberry shrub can be used in all the ways other berries are used, including as a topping for pancakes or ice cream, in cobblers, or simply eaten fresh.
The ElderBerry Fairy Love's Elderberry Wine and Jam and will happily accept your gracious gifts.
In addition to jams, jellies, teas, and fruit pies, the juice of the elderberry is also used in making wine. Elderberry wine is described as uniquely rich by many and is quite common in the United States and Europe.
