Fresh elderberries are tiny, deep purple berries prized for their rich, tart flavor and beautiful color. With notes reminiscent of blackberry and black currant, their bold flavor mellows and deepens when cooked. Elderberries are traditionally used in syrups, jams, jellies, pies, sauces, and cordials. For the best flavor and safe enjoyment, elderberries should always be cooked before eating and removed from their stems.
