Pioneer Woman at Heart

(Elderberry Oxymel and club soda) I had no idea these even existed, and read about them at Strangers and Pilgrims on Earth .  They mention more information is at Mountain Rose Herbs (where I do buy my elderberries when they are in stock).  If you get a chance, go to their site and read about it.  It's basically a fancy name for a honey/vinegar mixture to help herbs taste better going down (and healthy).  I know honey makes mullein tea taste much better, but anyway.....

Cooler weather means it's time to fill the jar of homemade hot chocolate .  Mmmm!   It also means I have to get laundry on the clothesline much earlier to completely dry. Dinners here have been,what I call "on the fly."  I take whatever is in the garden and cook what ever comes to my mind.  

Two weeks ago, I placed dried elderberries and raw honey in a canning jar.  I let it sit in a warm location to infuse.    The result?
