The Elder

I just finished rereading Harry P's last and was thinking of the Elder wand though really is has nothing to do with my beloved Elderberries. Our shrubs are hanging low weighed down by this fruit. Every year we have a ton, every year I claim out that I will do something with the haul, and every year I typically fail. But oh, not this year. This year I promise to harvest them, mix them with some apple sauce and make fruit leathers. Thankfully they are harvested and all the little berries are off their stems looking like some caviar (a lot of caviar), in a bowl-thanks mom!
