Pioneer Valley Elderberry Syrup, 11.5 Ounce

Elderberries have a strong edgy flavor and a bit of a pungent odor. They have long been used for jams, syrups, teas and wines. The flavor tends towards an heavy blackberry and slightly grape-ish flavor with a pronounced earthy almost bitter tone. While many people enjoy the heavy tones, elderberry does not have the broad appeal that other berries do. The berries and leaves can have strong medicinal qualities. Harvested wild, they have long been a part of the native American and pioneer diets. This pancake syrup captures the true essence of the elderberry. This flavor tends to be popular with older folks and people who enjoy stronger flavors. While mainly a pancake syrup, may also be used to sweeten and flavor tea or over ice cream.
