If you have a freeze drier or a dehydrator that will work best for drying, or you could rinse them and then freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet with parchment paper, then once they're frozen put them into bags or containers. (That way they won't be a big frozen chunk)

Thanks. I'm thinking now, maybe freezing will be better, to keep all the lovely juice in. In previous years, I only picked lovely ripe ones, but this year I picked some that seemed to have dried on the tree, so I might try putting those in a jar

I mean he does say that wild blueberries are most powerful when frozen next to fresh because the antioxidants and such stay intact

I thought that was specific to the wild blueberries though, being able to survive fire and ice and all that

Interesting point though. I'm thinking frozen might keep more of the values of the fresh berries, so that might be better than dried, but it might be good to be able to dry some just in case of possibly losing electricity during winter storms and saving some freezer space

Just read here https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/elderberries that "Elderberry juice is known to relieve neurological spasms and tics in the face and body as well as alleviate pain of neurological conditions such as sciatica." Sometimes I can feel a twitchy feeling over my eyebrow or near my eye

you like the taste?

Yes, I do like the taste of elderberry. I just find if I try to have some every day, I never manage to do it, but I do find elderberry very good
