In our neighborhood

I have two Elderberry bushes growing in my own back yard, but there was enough to work with.  The berries are so small and packed with such great stuff.  But I made two batches one had more water involved then the other.  All I know is when I felt like a cold was coming on,  I took about 4 tablespoon of the elderberry syrup all day and by the next day I didn't have a cold.   Not saying it's a miracle medicine but its very close.   Preparing for the winter months.
