Do you cook?

It’s Elderberry season, from end of May till June you’ll find Elderberry flower clusters growing often in undisturbed edges of forests or if planted in your garden. Did you know the ripe berries in fall when fresh are terribly toxic? Must be boiled at least 15/20 minutes to release the toxic hydrogen cyanide gas from the seeds.

This morning freshly gathered flowers made pancakes, they are very fragrant!
