Elderberry Whole
Dried elderberries are the small, dark fruit of Sambucus nigra, wrinkled and firm once dried and a deep purple that stains everything it steeps in. The flavour is bright and fruity, sweet-tart with earthy undertones.
How to use it
Simmer them into jams and syrups, where the fruit intensity comes forward, or work them into muffins, pies and breads. Steeped in a herbal tea blend they contribute both flavour and a rich purple colour, and they are the base of elderberry wine and other fruit-forward drinks. They can be used whole, rehydrated, or simmered into a decoction, and they are used cooked or steeped rather than eaten raw. Give a syrup a long, low simmer so the berries release their colour before you sweeten it.
