7/16: elderberry jelly

Elderberry bushes grew on the hill leading from our house to the lake where we used to go swimming as children, and my mother would sometimes make elderberry jelly in the summers.  Chris and I tried growing an elderberry bush here on the ridge, but it didn't take.  Recently I saw some elderberry jelly at a road-side stand and bought it eagerly.  It was just right as part of today's lunch.
