Our next Wednesday meeting follows on from our woodland walk when we decided that we would like to make something from a hedgrow harvest. On Wednesday 14th September we are making Elderberry cordial and you are all invited to come along, bring your Elderberries and join in.
Jill Schnabel will be helping us. Here is a link for information about picking and using Elderberries. Basically only pick Elderberries that are purple, not green and are hanging down. Uncooked Elderberries have cyanide in them so its not a good idea to eat them in that state(especially in quantities!).
So bring along any ripe Elderberries you can collect and a sterilized jar with a lid so you can take home some samples.
The meeting takes place at St James Church Centre in Alnwick at 7.30pm till 9.30pm. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Don't worry if you can't find enough ripe Elderberries. We will also be looking at making rosehip syrup.
