Elderberry jelly from our fruit harvest this week. These small tasty berries make excellent jelly, sweet enough for toast and tasty enough to compliment cheese and meat dishes. Easy to make and a great way to store your harvested fruit for the winter Many hedgerows have elder trees if you fancy foraging 😊 #elderberryjelly #fruitjelly #sustainability #harvesting #arran #glamping #permaculture #forestgarden #lovefood #homecooking #foraging
