Fruit Uses and Important Safety Information

Elderberries have intensely flavored fruit with a rich aroma. Properly cooked berries can be used in homemade jams, preserves, pies, syrups, and wine. Elderberry flowers and fruiting shrubs can also attract birds and butterflies.

Important: Elderberry plant parts contain toxic compounds. Never eat raw elderberries or other parts of the plant. Only properly prepared and thoroughly cooked ripe berries should be used for food. Keep leaves, stems, roots, and unripe berries out of food preparations.
