Ok, my memory is fading for me, not sure if I posted this before. Mountain Pie. Our deer hunt takes us into country where elderberries are around. Years ago, I researched and found they are edible. Since then, we have been enjoying a special pie I bake in camp at 4500' each year. Very simple, with a regional thing going on about it. I stop near leavenworth for a flat of apples each year for camp. Pick the berries on the hill near camp. I bring those rolled pie shells and tops, pre make the seasoning kit at home. Bring an iced down reddi whip spray... In any pan, place your dough. cut a few apples into chunks with the skin left on. Mix in a couple cups of elderberry, and the seasoning kit (1 cup sugar, a pinch of salt, and two heaping table spoons of flour). Mix all, and place the top on the pie. Cut a slit into the pie top. Bake in your handy dandy portable propane oven, and enjoy a warm pie later with some whipped topping. This is always a favorite around our camp, and an ol' timer nearby will not let me pass unless he gets a half pie dropped off at his camp each year! I always do! Bring enough pie shells, cause it goes quick! |

Do you have to wait for the elderberries to freeze first? They are famous for making you *censored* yourself to death. Pie looks scrumptious. |

Huntingnut, sorry, we ate it before I took a photo... :EAT: Bone, maybe baking it is the trick? Not sure. I am also cutting the berries with apple, so two cups goes a long way. I have never had the berries raw, except a few the first time out. The seeds are probably making guys crap their drawers....very "seedy" berry. When they bake, the berries seem to lose their cruchiness and do make a fine pie. Mikewalking, go east, you will find our camp.... :chuckle: |
