Now Available: Elderberry Gummy Kits!
We are very excited to now be carrying Elderberry Gummy Kits from Fat Stone Farm- especially during this time of the year!
Why elderberries during the winter? Well, elderberries are known to be the “natural medicine” for the cold and flu. Most people take elderberries when they first start to feel a cold coming on, as a protection against the germs. There are many benefits to taking elderberry. Including support for cold and flu relief, aiding sinus infections, helps encourage healthy skin, and helps boost your immune system to fight against allergies. Elderberries contain many antioxidants and vitamins that can help improve your overall health and immune system.
There are multiple ways that you can take elderberry. Some ways are in a syrup/liquid form, gummies, bulk (to add to any recipe you may have at home), lozenges, extracts, crystals, and teas! Bonus– all of these are available at your local Basil Bandwagon Natural Market!
Luckily for us, Fat Stone Farm has made a creative and fun way to take your daily dose of elderberry. Not only will it help you and your loved ones take elderberries, but your kids will love helping you make them too! Check out their new gummy kit below (supplies two tray’s worth of gummies but recipe below will only show ingredients for one tray’s worth):
Ingredients
-1 x reusable non-BPA silicone tray (15 fruit-shaped gummies)
-1 x 60ml “mini” bottle of Fat Stone Farm’s Elderberry Apple Shots
-1 x 60ml “mini” bottle of Fat Stone Farm’s Organic Maple Syrup
-1 x envelope of kosher beef gelatin
Method (to make 1 tray of the Gummy Kit- 15 gummies):
1. In small saucepan, pour one 60ml “mini” bottle of Elderberry Apple Shot and add 1 ice cube. Allow ice cube to melt.
2. Slowly add 1 envelope of gelatin over cold mixture. The gelatin will expand and will look wrinkled. Make sure each granule is soaked. Do not stir or the gelatin will clump. This takes a few minutes.
3. Place saucepan on medium or medium-low heat. Let the gelatin dissolve. Stir as necessary. Use as little heat as possible to preserve the nutrients in the Elderberry Apple Shots.
4. Stir in 1/2 of the 60ml “mini” bottle of Fat Stone Farm’s organic Maple Syrup.
5. Pour the gummy liquid into the mold, filling up to the top of each one.
6. The gummies will solidify in 10 in the freezer, 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or 1 hour at a cool room temperature.
7. Once cooled, gently flex the molds to remove the gummies.
NOTE: You may want to use a small tray or a dinner plate to transfer the warm gummies into the fridge or freezer.

Winter was the season of root vegetables and hot soup, but now we can brighten up our plates with some juicy citrus!

2. Mood: with awakening scents, taste, and color, it is known to help improve your mood and help you come out of your shell.
3. Skin Appearance: antioxidant properties help cleanse and brighten your skin.
1. Beauty: aromatherapy to help boost your mood and purify the air, and skin care to help brighten and cleanse your skin.
