A drop of good stuff!

Yesterday I collected some elderberries and boiled them up. Today before we went out for a walk at Tentsmuir, I set it to drip through the jelly bag. Tomorrow I will make jelly with it - yum! Not only is it good to eat but keeps flu and colds at bay if used as a soothing drink due to it's antiviral properties. It can be bought in the chemists at great expense as Sambucal - but who needs that when you can make your own! The flowers are also effective against colds as well as making superb cordial and wine.
