Sarah started pruning the elderberries in the garden. She sold over 500 cuttings so far, and is planting the rest to sell in the Spring once they start growing. Here are some of the planted cuttings waiting for warmer temps to root and leaf out.
We harvested 2 lbs. of elderberries from seven young elderberry plants last year. We made elderberry tincture from the 2 lbs. of berries. We put the destemmed and rinsed elderberries in 1.5 litres of 100 proof vodka and let them sit for 2-3 months. Then, we strained out the berries and stored the finished elderberry
