Elderberry syrup is delicious when drizzled over anything you would put syrup on, like waffles, pancakes, or ice cream. It's also good for treating colds and the flu when taken in 1-tablespoon doses. Store in a lidded jar in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 months.

Slow Cooker Philly Steak Sandwich Meat
This crockpot Philly cheese steak recipe uses beef sirloin, but it can be made using lower-grade roasts. The meat is always tender, and makes its own au jus if you like to dip as I do. To serve as sandwiches, put meat on a sub bun and top with sautéed onion and green pepper. Top with Swiss or provolone cheese and broil until the cheese just starts to melt.
