Sound like elderberries to me too but check for an on line picture to compare as suggested.
silly question since I know you get elderberry wine etc but can you use them for anything else if that is what I have?CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0 -

These are elderberries.
Very pippy, so do not make jame.
Make a great jelly with some apple. Alternatively, elderberry juice is the best cough medicine ever IMO. or wine.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0 -
Yes, elderberries. I've had some drinkable elderberry wine but I don't know what else you can make out of them. You can't eat them raw but they might be good for jellies or syrups.0

they are elderberries, very common on most footpaths.
I only known them cooked with or made into wine, although I did watched a chicken strip berries off one of these bushes last autumn so guess they must be quite tasty!0 -
Also check out pontiac sauce.
They will soon reduce in volume when you only have the juice. Most pips.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0 -
