This Will Even Make Liver Taste Good

This tangy sauce will add a distinct flavor to just about anything. (yes, even liver) Like any recipe, you can experiment with flavour by simply adjusting the seasoning. For example add more ginger or peppercorns for more zip. It makes a great gift when bottled in a decorative sauce bottle or jar.

Note: Elderberries should not be eaten raw. All parts of the plant contain small amounts of the toxin hydrocyanic acid which is completely destroyed by ordinary cooking.
