Ok, so you have been looking at all those elderberries hanging on the vine, as you deer hunt this fall. WTF are you going to do about it?
Here is what I do.
Each year at camp, I get on the radio and tell my buddies that if they don't show up at camp at dark with a bunch of berries, they aint gonna get no pie later. (Me neither, but they haven't figured that one out yet....)
On my way to camp, as I drive thru Cashmere or equiv, I make a point to get a box of apples for the hunt each year. Later at camp, I cut up an apple or two, throw in handfulls of elderberries from around the area that we hunt, one cup of sugar, a pinch of salt, two tables spoons of flour, mix together in a store bought pie shell, toss a top crust on the pie, and toss the whole shebang into my portable propane stove. An hour later, fresh baked pie. Pull the reddi whip out of the ice cooler, and you have a fresh baked, coolwhipped treat that guys from the other camps would kill for. As a matter of fact, one ol' timer who hunts nearby, won't let my truck pass unless I have pie for him. (I always have his pie for him!)
Bring more than one shell, cause this is awesome pie.
