Elderberry qualify as another very desirable fruit for those keen to exploit its health-giving properties. Apparently all those fruits which are predominantly purple are high in anti-oxidants and vitamins.That's never concerned me before now. I just love the taste.
This year's crop has been OK but not as splendid as bilberry. There are only a few elder trees on Blacka and those don't seem to have fruited in abundance. My usual source is an overgrown hedgerow (not on Blacka). It's been patchy this year but one tree yielded a pound and a half in 15 minutes.
