DIY Elderberry Syrup Kits going out Monday! 💌

We are making a big batch of homemade elderberry syrup tomorrow evening! Let me know before tomorrow evening if you’re local and would like some! 🫙

Making a batch SUNDAY. Let me know if you’d like me to add you to my list!👇🏻

💐 LETS TALK ALLERGIES! 🌸
Did you know elderberry syrup can help with seasonal allergies?!

Quercetin is an antioxidant flavonoid that is found in elderberries (and some other plants and foods) and adding it to your diet has been shown to relieve allergy symptoms because it has anti-allergic and antihistamine properties.

Ginger is also a natural antihistamine!

🍯 Local raw honey is great for allergies! Local beekeepers use honey that is pollinated by bees in the area. These bees collect pollen from local plants and bring it back to the hive where small amounts go into the honey. Since your seasonal allergies are caused by allergens from your environment, eating local raw honey will help your body adjust to local allergens.

All of these powerful ingredients are in my homemade organic elderberry syrup! 🤜

Consider elderberry syrup your natural antihistamine or natural allergy shot 💉
Give it a try!

$25 a pint. I’ll be making elderberry syrup on Sunday 😋

If you’re not local, I can send you an elderberry kit and you can add your own local raw honey to help with the allergens in your area! 📦

I have to push pause on the elderberry syrup making for the next 2-4 weeks. I still have kits available, but am unable to make homemade elderberry syrup right now. I will make another post when I’m able to start making it again. Thank you for understanding 🌿💜

Local friends- We’ll be making homemade elderberry syrup tomorrow! Let me know before tomorrow afternoon if you’d like me to add you to our list of orders! 💜🌿

We were originally thinking about doing orders just once a month and mentioned this to a few of you, but we have more customers this year (THANK YOU) and we also don’t want everyone to have to calculate and plan ahead like that. So let’s just keep it simple, and let us know when you need more! 💗

After making elderberry syrup, you’re left with this. What to do with it? Feed it to your chickens if you have some! So good for them and they love it! You can also throw it in your compost.

Our own personal supply of elderberry syrup is running low so we’re making more today......and by we, I mean my husband 😆. I’ve prepped everything and am using dried ginger to make it easier (the same form I put in my kits). Now he gets to learn how to make it.

A review from a loyal customer. I’ve been making her elderberry syrup for at least a couple years now.

12/26/2021

Do you have some of my homemade organic elderberry syrup or a DIY kit at home and are looking for something FUN to do with it? How about making ELDERBERRY GUMMIES?! You can even get the kids involved!!

THINGS YOU’LL NEED

💜1 TBSP coconut oil (optional)

💜1 cup elderberry syrup
Make your own, ask me to make ya some if you’re local, or grab my DIY kit here https://www.etsy.com/shop/FoxRedFarm

💜Gummie molds
Amazon has tons of molds! You can get bears, worms, dinos, unicorns, you name it!
Here’s one option
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0EJ9LJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_YAJZ85MZDKC4E8EAJP3T

💜1/4 cup beef geletin
I recommend this one
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NLQXXDQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_B07XZKP82WX9H6E6TQHF

💜 ½ cup hot, but not boiling, water

INSTRUCTIONS

* Grease molds with coconut oil to prevent sticking (optional).

* Place ¼ cup of room temperature elderberry syrup in a 2 cup measuring cup and quickly whisk in the gelatin powder.

* Add the ½ cup of hot (not boiling) water and stir quickly until smooth.

* Add the rest of the elderberry syrup and stir or whisk until completely smooth.

* Pour into molds and refrigerate for 2 hours or until completely firm.

* Pop the gummies out of the molds and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

💡 TIP

Gummies have a shorter shelf life so I recommend keeping them in the freezer and thawing a weeks supply at a time in the fridge.
Always keep in freezer or fridge. Never store on counter or leave unrefrigerated.

Enjoy and stay healthy 🌿💜

Let’s talk about babies and elderberry syrup!

🍯 Honey isn’t recommended for children under one. When making a batch of elderberry syrup, set some aside for baby before adding the honey to the rest of the batch. Baby can have the “syrup” as is without the honey or you could add maple syrup, molasses, agave, or another sweetener.

⚠️ If you omit the sweetener all together, this will make elderberry juice which will need to be consumed much more quickly. This freezes nicely as well.

🧊 When Natalie was a baby, I did not add a sweetener to hers and I froze her “syrup” in these mini ice cube trays https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L7ZFBXW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_VOPzT2KxhvegV. Each cube is approximately 1/4 tsp. so I gave her one cube a day. I would take out one cube each morning, let it thaw on a spoon, and she would drink it right off the spoon! 1/4 tsp. is the amount I felt comfortable giving a baby but I’m obviously not a doctor so you should consult your baby’s doctor if you have questions on dosing. If your baby doesn’t like the taste, you can mix the syrup into their food or milk.

I can always make elderberry syrup without the honey. Just ask!

Stay healthy 💜🌿

💡 PRO TIP!

Elderberry syrup can be frozen in ice cube trays for later use. Remove cubes as needed and allow to thaw in a mason jar in the refrigerator.

🧊 Unlike canning, freezing does NOT destroy the medicinal properties of any ingredients in the elderberry syrup, including the honey!

⚠️ I recommend freezing syrup in either a silicone tray or BPA-free tray with a lid to prevent plastic from leaching into the syrup.

🗓 You can store elderberry syrup in the fridge for up to 3 months, and maybe even longer, but if you don’t think you’ll use all of your syrup in time, I recommend freezing.

🥄 Pour out instead of sticking spoon in jar to avoid contamination and prolong freshness.

💜We use these and love them! They are a great size, easy to pop out, and come with a cover (not the trays pictured).
