Here is the third 18 gallon tote this year. It was full before I took the pic and now its empty and going to be filled up again today or tomorrow.
So far there is 32 lbs of berries off the stems about another 15-20 lbs still to be removed from the stems. Should end up with a little over 50 lbs before the next batch is cut. Each of the first two totes averaged 16lbs, and neiter one was as full as this one was. I am hoping to have close to 100 lbs in the freezer by the time all is said and done. Oh yeah I found the elderberry honey hole, about a 1/4 mile strech of dirt road, with ditches full of elderberries on both sides.
I used to think this was fun until I found someone to go cut the berries for me, now all I have to do is remove them from the stems and that aint so fun. LOL.
What to do with so many elderberries???
Elderberry Port
Elderberry/Blackberry
Elderberry Blush
Elderberry (made with just juice no watering down)
Elderberry/Watermelon ????? (that one just came to me)
Elderberry Pee
Any other ideas
