Elderberry syrup
Good product. Make an elderberry syrup for health. It is quite cost effective, rather than buying the syrup at the store.

Makes great elderberry syrup at HUGE cost savings over buying ready-made syrup
Elderberries are popular for their unusual taste in pies, jellies, wine, and jams. Elderberry juice was used to treat a flu epidemic in Panama in 1995. We use these dried berries to make homemade elderberry syrup due to its immune boosting properties and save LOTS of money over purchasing ready made syrups. We can the syrup via water bath method to make it more shelf stable. Open containers of the syrup should be safe for consumption for 90 days when stored properly in a refrigerator. We take anywhere from 1/2 TB to 1 TB dose daily. When ill, we take 1 T every 3 hours, up to 6 times per day.Our recipe is as follows:Homemade Elderberry SyrupIngredients:4 cup black elderberries (1 lb dried)12 cups of water4-6 cinnamon sticks cinnamon powder1/2 – 1 Tb whole cloves48 oz local organic honeyHow to Make Elderberry Syrup:Pour water into medium saucepan and add elderberries, cinnamon and cloves (do not add honey yet!)Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce to a simmer for about an hour until the liquid has reduced by almost half. At that point, remove from heat and let cool enough to be handled. Pour through a strainer into a large mixing bowl. Press the berries to extract as much liquid as possible from them.Discard the elderberries, cloves, and cinnamon sticks by composting them!Add honey to the liquid. When honey is well mixed into the elderberry mixture, proceed to can it in 8 or 16 oz canning jars via water bath method.Store open containers in the fridge (for up to 90 days) and take daily for its immune boosting properties. (Some sources recommend taking only during the week and not on the weekends to boost immunity)Standard dose is 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp for kids and 1/2 Tbsp to 1 Tbsp for adults. If the flu or a cold does strike, take the normal dose every 2-3 hours instead of once a day until symptoms disappear.*Recipe has been Modified from Wellness MamaCost comparison for 1 TB Serving size: Homemade is $.166/ounce & Store Bought $2.625/ounce.-STORE VERSION: $21 for 16 servings (1 TB servings) $2.625 per ounce or $1.3125 per serving.-ORGANIC HOMEMADE: 93 oz, $31 for 186 servings (1 TB servings) $.33 per ounce or $.166 per servingCost of Ingredients: Honey $11, $19 Elderberries $1.00 for spice to make 93 ounces.

the packaging was good and the foil bag seems to do a great …
I ordered this 1 lb bag of dried berries because frankly, who can afford the store bought stuff. That plus some of the additives I found in some brands I saw in the not-so-natural section of my local natural store. The frontier bag arrived with no problems, the packaging was good and the foil bag seems to do a great job keeping the berries fresh and dry. I say fresh because there’s definitely a wonderful berry smell when you cut open teh foil bag and that I found reassuring, unlike other brands I’ve purchased before where there was either a musty smell or the berries smelled like teh packaging itself. The texture and color of the berries are what you’d expect from properly harvested and dried berries you processed yourself so I was thrilled with that as well.Frontier is a great quality brand and I am so grateful they continue to offer products as this with uncompromised standards (no, I am in any way affiliated with this brand/company nor did I receive their product for free or at a discount, I bought it myself and love and will continue to support them!I also want to add that my elderberry syrup recipe was always a simple stove top one, but I’ve now tried it in an electric pressure cooker and it’s just as fantastic. These berries worked beautifully and the final product needed very little honey to sweeten and nothing else to mask the great flavors. Here’s the basic recipe: 1 cup dried elderberries, 3 cups of filtered water, a pinch of cinammon if you’d like (not necessary as I mentioned the flavors of these berries are great!), 3/4 c raw honey. Simmer all ingredients EXCEPT for honey in sauce pan for 30 minutes. remove, let cool slightly, add to high power blender (I have a vitamix) until smooth. Strain through cheesecloth or similar fine sieve. Stir in honey. Enjoy.

Quality product
A great product which I have purchased many times for making elderberry syrup!

Delicious in tea, will try to make syrup, too
These dried berries are very good for tea. You can use them twice. After making the first tea, you can pour hot water on the used berries and make a second tea, let it steep, it will still be aromatic and delicious. I ordered a second pack and I’ll make the syrup, too.For those who try to eat the berries as they come, you can see they are hard and it’s pretty obvious that they are not eatable if they are not boiled.
Serving the intended purpose. –
