Title: RE: [NAFEX] Elderberries&Fall Pomona

Hello, Anton.  I'm helping Jaci as a gathering editor for next summer's Pomona, and I'd like to suggest that we have at a minimum a person's name and his/her city and state with the each of the emails, which helps Pomona readers puts information and comments in perspective.  What do you think? -- Sam Brungardt, St. Paul, Minn.

There has been an excellent and informative thread here on elderberries recently.  The Fall issue is still looking a little thin, although many thanks to those who have sent articles and information.  I would like to include parts of this elderberry discussion in the Fall Pomona, perhaps with some additional material.  If anyone objects to having their post included, or if anyone has specific wishes regarding how (or if) their contact information is displayed, please let me know either on or off-list. 

Thanks,

Anton

The red elderberry is one of those fruits that is edible, poison and medicinal depending on which book you consult. Many old timers in these parts (Utah) have been making and eating jelly from this fruit for some 150 years. Also, the elk on our mountains love them very much. I have made and enjoyed wine from this fruit but there are caveats; pick the berries VERY ripe and be careful with your consumption of mass quantities. The fruit contains cyanogenic glucocides (scary huh?) and the cyanide will definetely affect your metabolism. However you process the fruit you will notice a bright yellow oily substance that comes to the top that contains most of the cyan. Skim this off and throw away. good luck, bob sorenson
