Elderberry August 2022

Elderberry, with Autumnberry, Blueberry, Aronia, Blackberry, northern West Virginia. (The blackberries were unusually small – the only ones left by the birds and deer.) All these berries ranged variously sweet with some juicy acid. Little to no tart. Picked ripe. (Note: the elderberries in photos below on plate and in big cluster are Bob Gordon variety, both the largest and most reliably sweet elderberries of the handful of varieties I’ve tasted.)
