Elderberries - A LOT!


Elderberries

We picked a huge amount of elderberries this past weekend and took them home (city) to process.   We are doing the "juice and can" process so that I don't have to worry about losing power and wiping out my elderberry supply due to lack of freezer!



Processing the berries took a couple days.. most of the week!

I forget how many  we did this batch.  It was the biggest single batch.

We are continuing to can the juice from these berries

Strawberries

Picked more strawberries.  Freeze-drying them for making strawberry preserves later. Or something else, maybe just eating.  




I added a few frozen berries because the fresh batch wasn't quite enough.

Here they are all vacuum packed.  The one (foremost) lost its vacuum eventually.
