Picking Elderberries

Ok, so i put these pictures on here backwards

What can I say. This is Loyds bucket, we have along

way to go yet!!

This is my bucket, as you can see Loyd is better

at this than I am, only because I have Never done

this before...

These are the stems after we have destemmed

the Elderberries, we have to pick all those

little tiny berries off the stems. Very time

consuming, at least for me....We have three big

bags of these to do.....Gonna take awhile...

This is Loyd working on de-stemming them.

we were wearing plastic gloves, cause they will

stain your fingers and it will NOT wash off...

This is what they look like when Loyd cut them

off the bush.. You can see how tiny they are.

I am going to cook them down and make them into

jelly. I have never had this, but Loyd says it is really good,

he used to do this at home as a child. I'm anxious

to see what it taste like....I'm excited :)
