Went foraging in the woods today for elderberries to make Venus Rob. Venus Rob is Fiona Heckels’ elderberry syrup that she uses to help fight off winter colds. Her recipe is on the Natural Health pages of Issue 25 of JUNO, on sale now.
Foraging was fun. We were scratched and stung but it’s very satisfying to spy what you are searching for among the brambles. The berries are coming up to the boil as I write this, giving off a comforting smell of the cinnamon sticks stewing with them.
I’ll let you know how I get on. For more about Fiona’s remedies visit www.sensorysolutions.co.uk
