We were blessed with an epic elderberry harvest this year (over 15 pounds from each of our three bushes!)

Years ago I invested my time in planting a seed and gifted my attention and love in caring for the young seedling, and for that investment into the Gift Economy of the living Earth I now have access to a seemingly endless supply of amazing medicinal berries.

Thanks to some inspiration for this recipe idea from my friend down south (James Evan Pilato) I decided to create an experimental elderberry pie. Instead of using that processed, refined (usually GMO/glyphosate laced) store bought white sugar that most recipes call for, I used sugar that comes from the same land and habitat as the Elderberry.
