HOW TO MAKE ELDERBERRY GUMMIES

We are right in the middle of the “cold and flu season” and I am sure most of you have either been sick or someone in your family has been this year. We heard about Elderberry a few months back and started using the syrup when any of us had been exposed to someone that was sick, or when we had a busy week and might not have gotten all the sleep that we should have. We have seen a boost in our energy, and especially our immune systems.

 

I decided to find out HOW TO MAKE ELDERBERRY GUMMIES, and I encourage you to try one or all of these recipes for yourself and your family. You will be glad you did.

Ripe elderberry fruit is considered safe to take but in small quantities. If taken in large doses it can cause stomach cramping, diarrhea, stomach ache and sometimes the elderberry will act as a laxative.

 

The leaves, stem, bark, and root of the elderberry plant is considered poisonous and should never be eaten. Even the unripe berries can make one sick if eaten. That is why you want to make sure the berries are very ripe or dried.
