Everything Elderberry

“Elderberries have become wildly popular, and Everything Elderberry provides you with over sixty creative recipes for flowers, berries, and leaves. From peppermint elderberry cough drops, to elderflower sangria, to elderberry leaf salve, this book is a treasure trove of all things elderberry.” –Laurie Neverman, Common Sense Home

“Everything Elderberry is incredibly well researched and thorough, packed with everything you could possibly want to know about elderberries. You won’t find a more authoritative book on the subject, and the recipes at the end are especially scrumptious.” –Ashley Adamant, Practical Self Reliance

“Everything Elderberry truly lives up to its name! This book is your one-stop guide to sourcing and using elderberries, flowers, and leaves. Highly recommended!” –Jan Berry, The Nerdy Farm Wife

“Susannah’s book on everything elderberry couldn’t have come at a better time. It is full of well researched information about growing, harvesting, and using elderberries and elder flowers in the kitchen and in the home apothecary. It goes deeper than simple elderberry cough syrup, with creative desserts, from pie to candy and fruit leather. There are apothecary staples too, like immune boosting elderberry tincture, elder flower lip balm, and elder leaf salve. This book is a collection of elder wisdom that draws on experts in the fields of herbalism, homesteading, and gardening. What I found most helpful was the information about propagation. Having stuck elder sticks in the ground to multiply my bushes, with more failure than success, I appreciated the cultivation and propagation chapter the most. With health threats affecting every country in the world, every garden should have an elder to watch over it. Thanks, Susannah, for making this beneficial plant more accessible through your book.” –Christine Dalziel, Joybilee Farm, author of The Beeswax Workshop
