- OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY: In this episode Stacy is going over how to make this home remedy. SAMBUCUS NIGRA - BLACK ELDERBERRY
Elderberries pack a very nutritious punch, including minerals like iron, potassium, phosphorous, and copper, as well as vitamins, such as vitamin A, B, and C, proteins, and dietary fiber. Add some of the beneficial organic compounds that function as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents in the body, and you have one powerful berry!
Some of the most important health benefits of elderberries include their ability to boost immune system function, protect against bacteria and infection, slow down the spread of cancer, moderate the digestive process, prevent the development of diabetes, reduce the pain and speed associated with autoimmune diseases, help with weight loss, lower blood pressure, and alleviate allergies.
A Final Word of Caution: Considering that so few species are edible, it is always wise to find elderberries in a licensed and reputable store OR grow them yourself. Don’t pick wild elderberries and it is suggested to cook all berries before eating, as they may contain dangerous traces of cyanide. Furthermore, being allergic to plants in the honeysuckle family is not uncommon, so be careful about being up-to-date on your food allergies before adding elderberries to your diet. Finally, elderberries are known to act as diuretics for some people, so if you are already struggling with kidney problems, then elderberries may exacerbate them.
With the cold and flu season upon us and the unhealthy diet most people have this natural remedy will combat the germs that are out to get you
For the kids we have some syrup for coughs and sniffles
Hope you enjoy this information and also remember the better you eat the more your immune system will be strong enough to keep you healthy

How to make elderberry syrup 3/4 cup of elderberries 4 cups of water 1 teaspoon of cinnamon add a pinch of cloves or ginger Bring to boil Cover for 45 min. or until thickening Then strain liquid then add a cup of raw honey Thank you Stacy for helping us stay healthy 🎬🧔 Doug & Stacy 👩🦱 🎥
Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can you boil them fresh or do they have to be dried or treated first
Shared this info with my 91 year old Dad... he was like" yeh.. where you been girl" thought you knew this already. He's a firm believer in using God's bounty to stay healthy.
God brought Elderberry trees to my yard!!! Took me several year’s to realize what they were and what He Did , bringing that excellent medicine to our land!!! 🙌🥰🙌
I’m sure it was god and not animals who ate it and spread the seed... but.. Ight
That's awesome.
Josiah…Who made the animals and the seed and the soil etc genius????
You ham
God provides all our needs ❤️✝️
Thank you, Stacy! When I make my Elderberry syrup I don't boil it but simmer until it loses 1/2 the volume. Then I put it through a nut bag and drain it over a bowl. After it cools some but still somewhat warmish I squeeze the bag to get the most juice possible. Then I add raw honey and that's it. I added too much honey one time...but my honey had crystallized so when I was stirring it in, there was a big clump that didn't dissolve yet. It was then that I tasted it and decided it was plenty sweet so I poured it off into another bowl and took that big clump of honey that was infused with Elderberry juice and stuck it in a pint jar. I was tickled that I ended up creating a new product...Elderberry Honey! So I made syrup AND honey that day!
Ha..that is wonderful..I find it so awesome when at first we think we might have messed something up..but ends up becoming an ah ha moment.😉
Sambucus Nigra is indigenous to Scotland. ..we have a lot, also birch and chaga growing on the birch, blackberries are everywhere, if you can train them into hedges they make a wonderful starter for old fashioned hedgerows (you need other stuff like hawthorn, dog rose, gooseberry and lots more. Its a wonderful natural fence. And once you have the whole thing growing you can incorporate other edible or medicinal plants and you just have to walk along the hedgerows to collect them (that's why they called people like myself and Bess the old lady who taught me, hedgewitches. I know a lot of people are sceptics but Bess also taught me to dowse for water and I normally use broom cut into a kind of y shape, it has to be new and no matter what you do, if you can dowse, if you try to resist the pull, the sticks will break...same with the metal ones that cross over. I never tried it with a pendulum but I am sure it would work but the action of walking would make it hard to read. These are old skills people used to need and I am so lucky to have been taught. I am really pleased to see you both carrying it on.
Thank you for sharing Stacy and Doug. 👍👍🇺🇲Also, elderflower water helps soften the skin, lighten freckles, and soothe sunburn. The Coahuilla indigenous tribe of North America used the elderberries as dye, food and medicine. During the berry season, the families largely subsisted on these fruits, together with chia seeds.
💙💜💙💜
I make elderberry syrup (without alcohol), boiling dehydrated berries in spring water, using slippery elm, cinnamon sticks, dried rose hips, and fresh ginger simmering on medium low for an hour then adding honey after it's cooled some. I love it. I works fast and it's so soothing. I am so glad you did this video on how good elderberries are for your health! Thanks!
Pam Solomon thanks for the recipe. I'm going to make some for my little man for the fall. Gummies.😉
Where do you get your elderberries for your syrup?
@@jhenry9486 i pick mine along hiways and gravel roads and railroad tracks here in northern Missouri
Jessica Henry it’s true, they are everywhere in Florida, so I just pick them everywhere. Most people don’t have a clue about what they are. But many health food stores sell them dried, online.
Pam solomon thats how my gma made syrup made winter less miserable
I bet that elderberry with the cloves and cinnamon boiling makes the whole house smell AMAZING!
I love how Stacy cooks, she "abouts" just like my mom taught me.
Blessings
Back at my Off Grid with Doug and Stacy binge fest again this morning! Y'all are coming outside with me as I feed all the livestock. I've made elderberry tincture, but not the syrup yet. Can't wait!
You two are funny together. Thank you for these recipes Stacy. You make it look easy.
I did realize how easy it is to make elderberry syrup.
Thank you!
You guys are so delightful to watch! Blessings to you both!💐
Hi, I just found this video. Thank you for sharing. I have an elderberry tree and my son has planted two more canes. I saw your recent videos with the elderberry farmer. I love the way he keeps them short. I'll be doing that from now on for easy access. How wonderful of you to do this video. Thank you again. Blessings
A few months ago I began getting the feeling I was getting a cold and didn't have any Elderberry syrup made so bought some, two kinds, and double-dosed it every two hours. By the next day, I had NO cold symptoms. I am totally a believer in this. I haven't made the tincture yet but I will be learning from you, how to do it. I just make some Elderberry syrup yesterday and after making the first batch, I used the berries again and processed it again, then drank the liquid over two days. Then put the berries in the compost. ~Thanks for teaching us.
You were such an inspiration for me in learning more about elderberries. I watched this video the 1st time this summer. I put up lots of elderberries this season, dehydrating, freezing, and I made a lot of juice. I have been sharing the juice with friends and family for medicinal purposes. Thank you so much!
I make this & keep it on hand [tincture]. My favorite way to use is in warm coffee or other liquid. You're right - the syrup is very expensive to buy. I never thought to put the tincture in a dropper bottle - great idea.
I've made this a long time ago for my daughter. it was wonderful. Never thought about using it like pancake syrup, great idea! Thanks
Just a thought that helps me and may help someone else...I ad a date to the calendar in the future for when to shake/inspect/examine stuff which helps keep me on track. Things like feed the starter bread, what dates to start what vegetables etc. I just made a jar of tincture so I am adding those to it.
What a great idea that I will add to my processing process! Thanks!!
Too cute, the gesture with the dog 🐕
After searching for plants months, I just bought some ( ok,15 Adams and 16 York) #3 Elderberry bushes, yes I got a great deal I couldn't refuse... I'm in the process of pulling out the Rose of Sharon bushes and planting the elderberries especially around my chicken coop. THANK YOU for organizing your videos so I could easily find all the info on elderberries, I trust you, You guys are the BEST!!!
Doug and Stacy I greatly appreciate ya'll sharing such beautiful nuggets with so many different types of benefits
Thank you Stacy, your helping me to stay healthy and happy:) Best wishes to you both.
My wife makes our family elderberry syrup. Thanks for the video. We learned even more!
You guys are so funny. I love how much I'm learning watching your videos. Keep them coming. Thank you.
I love this video! Additionally, I love the video that you tour of the Elderberry Farm! LOVE you STACY!
Thanks for sharing, Very good info, I'm going to make some of this this summer. Be good to have on the shelf.
This episode is so funny! Makes it so much fun to watch and learn!
Hey y'all! Thanks for the video - I'm working on ordering our fruit trees and berry bushes right now so this was very well timed - Sambucus Nigra it is! A gorgeous glimpse inside the cabin too - SO PRETTY! Take care and catch ya soon homies
Thanks to both of you I am going for my second order of Elderberries. What a great product.. Bless you both.
Excellent information and teaching lesson tips.
I ran out of my purchased elderberry syrup and decided to try making it myself. My dried berries just came, and I figured you would have a post about it. I looked it up and Doug and Stacy did not disappoint: ) Great post! I have been using it with the kids for cold and flu but did not know it will help arthritis and hay fever, I have both. I will add this in daily for sure. Oh, and Stacy...I loved the overalls. My kids call them "farmer pants" and they are a favorite in attire at our house:)
Where did u order from
Yes, I love "farmer pants" too. Will need to look for.
Excellent ...Excellent...(did I say excellent?) EXCELLENT information and presentation ;) I just love you two! I just made my FIRST tincture (and just started my herbal course) so thank you Stacy!
Grateful for information about natural medicine and immune system boosters. The recent pandemic is just another reminder of how much we need this information.
I am drying chokecherries for tea, so I am going to try a tincture as well. Life is awesome here on the farm/homestead.
I have to give this a try. Thank you for the info Stacy :)
Elderberry syrup is delicious, one TBS of Molasses then 1 tsp of the elderberry syrup - a great 2pm pick up. thanks Stacy!
Thank you for sharing this!
Molasses -- now that's a blast from the past! Such a great idea too. Thank you for sharing this.
Love elderberry syrup!! It’s a kid favorite and doesn’t feel like “medicine” at all!
I make this and keep it in my fridge and pull it out when I am sick. My son and I were sick on Labor Day weekend and we both got over our colds in three days. It was awesome.
What an incredible and useful berry! I am really impressed. I have bought the Sambucus Cough drops before...sounds like it is time to grow my own. Thanks for the info!
I love the roll in the oven!!!! I do those types of things too
I found some 80 proof vodka and made my very first time ever tincture. I also made the syrup. Thank you for enlightening me. God Bless! Carmen
Like the Elderberry wine. I'm gonna make all these. Thanks for sharing all your goid health knowledge. luv ya bunches.
Look into getting some Aronia berry bushes. They are very hardy and a superior berry beyond some of the others for tons of reasons. Elderberry is great too.
Found Elderberries growing wild around here took some cuttings to root. cant wait till we grow our own. Thank You for the Benefit .
I'm gonna do this Thank you Stacy and Doug and We Love Y'all!❤️
I just purchased some cuttings from River Hills Harvest and I am excited to get them growing! Thank you for sharing this wonderful resource.
Did your cuttings grow? I just ordered some too.
thanks Doug and Stacy for a fun and informative video, we have an elderberry bush.not sure on variety. tried to make jam didn't turn well,but your tincture and syrup look great
Nice video. I use the used elderberries and put them in water and store it in the fridge. I strain them and make tea from them because there is still a lot of juice left.
HI STACY, I MADE MY ELDERBERRY TINCTURE AND MY ELDERBERRY SYRUP. THANK YOU STACY. AM IN GA. LOVE YOU
This is my go to in winter here in the Mitten. Love to give this homemade syrup to anyone! Thanks for sharing! 💚✌️
I make this for my grandkids now and it works GREAT for their allergies. Thanks so much for this!!
Yes elderberries are one of the berries just packed with nutrition and are very yummy as well. Remember Doug you do not need to buy a million bushes at all or not even one if you know someone with a bush. Just propagate with soft wood cuttings. God Bless
What's a soft wood cutting,
Cut at a angle & put in water to Sprout?
Thank you Stacy. Looking thru you videos for different ways to help out my grandchildren.
number 1 thanks for the heads up
Hi Doug & Stacy, discovered y'all a few months ago and just love, love, love you guys. Your videos are FULL of great info!
Question, can you use fresh elderberries or do they need to be dried first?
Elderberries are amazing. I love elderberry syrup and I’ve heard elderberry pie is awesome.
I finally found Elderberry here in NC. I have them rooting now. I have dehydrated the ones that I bought from River Hills Harvest. Once I get a quart jar I'll make the juice and can it. This way I can make syrup as I need it. I forgot about the tincture. I'll make some too. Thanks Stacy!!
I just love learning how to make this and how to dose. I was allergic as a child and could have helped myself if I had known. There is wild elderberry everywhere here in north Louisiana.
Have to re-visit this video, as my family members were just asking about ways they could use elderberries. They only knew of jam/jelly, pies, bread, and wine. Thanks again!
thank ya'll for all you do. I learn so much.
Great video like always guys thank you
Discovered three elderberry bushes in the fall that the birds had gifted me. Excited to harvest them this year.
I had to hit pause and go find me some earbuds. Some of these older videos are very hard or impossible to HEAR, but earbuds do the trick!! Too good & valuable for me to miss bits and pieces or (sometimes) all of it. I'm a newbie and so glad that your current videos are so well done with volume included! 🤣
I just love you guys you r my go to now for stuff, ur so informative. thnx for sharing
G'Maw's Garden thanks GMaw
I have got to make some of this soon! I love how easy it is to make our own herbal remedies! I can struggle with anxiety at times and my favourite tincture for that is motherwort. I had run out and was having a hard time finding any motherwort around. We were visiting family and I got so excited when I found a big beautiful plant flowering in my dad's yard I sent my dh out to buy a bottle of vodka so I could make a tincture right then and there. After watching me make it, it became somewhat of a family joke whether it was the plant or the vodka that helped with the relaxation lol. A friend of mine grows it now though so no more "in field" tincture making necessary ;)
Is motherwort the same as St. John's Wort? (I thought that was for depression?) May I ask where you purchased from before finding your own plant? TYIA!
@@juliemarsch9632 No it's a different plant. Mountain Rose Herbs sells the dried herb, really most places that sell dried medical herbs will likely have it.
Great thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’m happy to found you guys ❤
Thanks for the syrup and tincture recipes, Doug and Stacy! Will grow elderberry asap, not sure where or if grow in my area.
Thank you Stacy for sharing your knowledge.. I watch and follow your recipes often..I watch u on these videos like my online cookbook ..lol
Great video thanks Stacey!
I LOVE Elderberry! We will be planting a lot of them on our property.
Very nice recipes.Going to order some elderberry's and make the syrup,and the tincture.Thanks.
i can't wait to make this ! Thank you ! ❤
Thanks so much for the loving knowledge and Elderberry info. I finally got us some elderberry tincture..we were so down n out with the flu..and yes it's certainly working..we are already feeling better just one day later..still on the mend and taking the elderberry..but wow what a difference already..amazing 😍🌱
Great tip! Going onto my "to do" list😉
Glad to have found this video! im about to plant quite a few elderberry plants in my forest garden! I'm going to plant the Sambucus canadensis though instead of nigra, I found a source for them to get plants for $1.50 a piece! they may be a little hardier for my area as well.look forward to seeing how they do! Thanks for the info!
Would love to find Elderberry starts for $1.50....do you know which Variety and how I can Source some for our little Homestead too?
I really appreciate you showing us how to make the tincture and the syrup. We've got berry bushes at the farm, but have only picked the raspberries as we don't want to accidently use berries that could be poisonous, by accident. Between those and the various other bushes, we need to talk to the dnr or county extension to ensure we have edible plants, not dangerous ones.
love yalls vids guys!
Make this for the winter time every year. It’s wonderful.
This was fun coming across this as I just gave some to my nephew.
Love it!
Ever see the old movie, Arsenic and Old Lace with Cary Grant? I believe elderberry wine was the means the crazy aunts used to get the arsenic into their "lonely gentlemen". Lol Elderberry has been one of our go-to prevention & treatments for a long time. Thanks for spreading the word.
Love that show
Loved that movie!
Love that movie! Also Father Goose and Operation Petticoat!
i made some a while back, sounds even better with cinnamon.
well I just sold 19 pounds of elderberries and just cooked up 8 cups of juice in a few days I will go pick some more there ripe for the picking lol now
Wow don't you just love it!!!!!
I made it and it's delicious. I added 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper which give it a nice little bite. I'm taking a TBLS everyday. Thank you.
I added cayenne to mine too!!
I’ve been bing watching your remedy videos, love them I’m going to make myself a first aide bag .
Yes! I make BOTH of these, made a video on the tincture. LOVE elderberry, my #1 pushed plant
+Permaculture Prepper I grow the sambucus nigra its wild here in my zone, I will push another plant on you guys cause I love you. Grow SEABERRY Hippophae rhammonoids !!! Im growing that next year, as well as MORE elderberry.
Your dog is so funny 🤣 we planted the bushes last summer. We are excited to try this. Thanks 🙏🏻
great receipts thanks.
Okay. Now I know. I guess I could use some of that.
I love elderberry. Thank you
Elderberry rocks!!
Thank you for the recipe and info. More info on elderberries! This video is now four year old...you have probably spent more time with Terry now, would you change anything about the recipe with your new knowledge of elderberries? Considering a small orchard for us here. Love the idea of sharing this with friends and family. So much to learn! Thanks again!!
Would love that info too!!!
I love elderberries!
Stacy, elderberries are great for flavoring Kambucha as well!
I love elderberries.
Perfect!
I know that Scotland seems inhospitable but ever since I was a small child a friend of our family taught me about what was safe to eat and also what was good as medicines. I remember picking wild raspberries, strawberries (but you really need to know what you're about to find wild strawberries and they're tiny but so much nicer!) Wild cherries, elderberries, hazelnuts, blueberries and brambles or blackberries as other people call them. I also know where to get medicinal herbs in the wild and we have millions of birch trees so we have chaga and most of the edible wild mushrooms but I don't advise picking fungus unless you really know what you are doing. I think that's about the tip of the iceberg because we have lots of garden escapes like rhubarb and others also growing wild.
Btw I love your cottage and your lifestyle and can't wait to finish this cabin so I can start making preserves (and jewellery which is the main reason I need an off grid cabin...hammering and setting off fire alarms doesn't go down well in flats in London, and all the really nice jewellery needs a good bit of both lol!).
This is such good information.
Before we came to Cambodia, I was able to buy and bring tincture with me to use here. After covid, when we were finally able to go to the USA on furlough, I looked to buy more, and all I could find was gummies.
Great Information 👍
