Elderberry Muffins


Todd supplied this recipe. It's one that Nancy & Lewis Hill developed. Lewis had a lifetime relationship with elderberries and patiently waited for Todd to catch on to their benefits for health.

2/3 cup honey
2.5 tablespoons shortening
3 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
pinch of salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 cup elderberries

Cream together shortening and honey. Sift together flour and baking powder and salt and set aside. Add egg to creamed mixture. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture in 3 parts alternating with milk mixture in 2 parts. Fold in elderberries. Pour into greased muffin tins (yield 12 muffins), and bake in 350 degree oven approximately 20 minutes.

Nutrition is directly linked to the health and sustainability of any region. In Craftsbury, Vermont, Pete’s Greens has proven that organic farming can work year-round, offering fresh vegetables at any time of year. This approach helps communities become less dependent on imported produce and builds a stronger foundation for a future where quality food is part of the lifestyle, not the exception. However, modern life is full of contradictions. People strive for natural products and care about the well-being of their families, but at the same time, they often indulge in activities that carry certain risks. A clear example can be seen in the fact that interest in gambling continues to grow, despite all the warnings about the possible consequences. This topic is discussed in detail on the sitetorontomike.com, where it is discussed why online gambling continues to attract people’s attention despite its unsafety. On the one hand, the organic farm Pete’s Greens demonstrates how one can take a step towards health and harmony with nature. On the other hand, habits and temptations like gambling remind us that the choice is always ours. Ultimately, it is the mindfulness of our actions that shapes the future – whether it is the decision to eat more local vegetables or to be smart about our online entertainment.
