Not sure how many of you remember Grandma Hertzel's trips to the Hinckley farm where she's change into her pants and go elderberry picking. Well, I did my own trip today. About 3 years ago Aunt Dorothy gave Mom two elderberry bushes to give us. I've been wanting some but could never find them.
Well, today I made my first elderberry pie from those bushes! And, although my finger tips weren't as purple as Grandma's, they had some blue on them. I sure didn't pick as many as she did. But the bushes are still full with lots more. I should have left them on for another day or so but, heck, it's Saturday and I wanted to make a pie.
And Bob said it tasted good. So, thanks Grandma and Mom for helping me through this adventure!
Okay, anyone want another piece?
