The blossoms of the elderberry can be identified immediately with the appearance of small white flowers in late spring along with black-red fruits reminiscent of berries. The elderberry itself can be found in any health-food store as an ingredient in cold and flu and syrups. The fascinating thing that I discovered is that elderberry extract is great for cooking and baking and so easy to prepare at home, so I came up with a recipe that uses elderberry extract to make a delicious cookie that is sure to sweeten your day.
