[PRH]

Has anyone happen to have some pretty cool elderberry wine recepies out there?? I will be getting myself some elderberries from a friend of mine soon and thought that elderberry wine would be a good place to start making use of them. ( he's giving me quite aload so I will become alittle busy in that department for awhile )

Kind of reminds me of "Arsenic And Old Lace". LOL We have that on tape and the grandkids loved it when they got to see it. The high school put that on a couple of years ago and did a good job with the production.

You know elderberry is great for your health...wonder if the wine would do the same...

You know what Paul wrote to Timothy, "Use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ills."
