Elderberries!
Bumper crop this year. I usually pick some of them only to keep them from falling around the front door and getting tracked into the house.
First year here, I tried making elderberry cordial from a recipe I found on the web. It didn’t mention that you have to cook elderberries or they’re poisonous. I drank a thimbleful of the stuff and it was a seriously potent emetic. WHOOOSH went the weasel.
I’ve been shy about them ever since.
I think I might make some jelly or syrup this year, though. I’ll try not to go WHOOOSH.
