HOW TO MAKE ELDERBERRY FLOWER HONEY: Ride Horses and Love Life!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Summer is drifting in, sweet and warm, the air perfumed with wildflowers. It's hard not to spend every waking second out in the wilds, foraging, riding horses and making things from the bounty. I asked Storm if she would like to come along to forage Elderberry blossoms with me, and since she never misses an opportunity to ride her trusty horse Bjørn, she happily said yes.
Bjørn is a young Norwegian Fjord horse, full of love and life, a strong and willing companion and friend. The two of them together warm my heart. There is no love like the love between a little girl and her horse.
I've been foraging for elderberries my whole life, they are a very giving tree, both with plentiful berries and blossoms. Honey infused with the blossoms and pollen has a rich, floral flavor and is a wonderful tonic against allergies and colds.
It's almost too much to believe, the beauty and bounty of the earth. May we raise children to treasure the splendor and natural gifts of this planet and never take her for granted. And remind ourselves to do the same.
Be well my friends. Enjoy your day, take a moment to stop and breath, find something small and meaningful that brings joy to your day.
Until next time...
-Iris

Thank you. So much. When I think the world has turned upside down.. there are places to celebrate and and friendships to cherish.
It’s a beautiful world out there Kim. We just need to remember how to see it. ❤️
Another great break from the world. Keep them coming!
Thanks David! 😊
Your videos are so beautiful!
🥰
I bet that is good 👍
We like to dip the blossoms in a batter then fry.
Sprinkle powdered sugar on and mulberry sauce 😋 👌
Great video
Well that sounds amazing too. The blossoms give the honey a really nice floral flavor.
Lovely!

Awesome Iris. You are onto something here. Keep them coming. Love those horses.
Thanks Paul. There will be more horse videos, I’m sure! 😊
Great work, keep it going. There is so much we can learn from these. Thank you.
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch! I’m glad you enjoy them! 🥰
Iris, have you ever thought about having an all women’s riding and outdoor skills camp? My wife has been researching some horseback camps, and it seems you have the skills and mindset to put on an amazing and empowering experience.
Well, no, not really, but it is kind of a neat idea. Maybe eventually? 😊
Iris Gardner If you do something like that, my wife will be your first customer!
I so miss our elderberry tree that mom used up make chili out of the berries. I’m gonna have to find me some elderberry flowers though. God’s best
My mom was just asking this morning what to do with her elderberry flowers! I sent her the vid.
Great! 😊
Iris Gardner do you strain or doing anything with the honey later or just leave the flowers in there?
What a wonderful day ☀️ your new channel is awesome!
Thanks Arvid! Glad you’re enjoying! 😊
I like how it shows storm on the horse in random parts of the video
She loves this horse so much and it always makes me happy to see them together. I think their bond really showed in this video. Thanks for watching!
This is so precious, thanks for sharing.
🥰
Another beautiful video!

Beautiful video♥️ do you add the elder flowers to the honey for the flavor or does it have another purpose?
They give the honey a really nice floral flavor, but the pollen is full of micronutrients and seems to help with allergies and stuff too. We had a friends kid up last summer who was really allergic to horses and I gave her a spoonful of the elder-honey a couple of times a day and she hardly had any trouble at all riding horses every day.
May I ask in what state or country you live in? Because I’d really love to live somewhere as beautiful and serene as this someday!
We live in northeastern Washington state, USA. 🇺🇸
I would love to make elderberry honey
It's really wonderful stuff.
