That sounds like it might taste great in a drink. I just made elderberry tincture using vodka, yuck for sure but adding the vanilla might make it taste better. We grow elderberry here, use the flowers for a bouquet tea & have made a preserve with the berries. View attachment 2431925View attachment 2431927

I prefer elderberry syrup. I use vodka and honey both to preserve and it’s not bad. Rough on the tummy if you have too much but we just have a shot each evening to boost our immune systems. At least that’s what we like to tell ourselves

Yes, beef gravy over any dish, well just about any dish is delish.
Do you make it? If so do you use flour or corn starch?

Flour and better than bouillon along with any pan drippings. Top it off with a 1/4 c heavy cream.

Homemade Sloppy Joes

Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds extra lean ground beef
• ½ onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 green pepper, diced
• 1 cup water
• ¾ cup ketchup
• 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt, or to taste
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup water
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1 Place ground beef and onion in a large skillet. Turn heat to medium and cook and stir the mixture constantly until the beef is browned and forms small crumbles, about 10 minutes.

Step 2 Stir in garlic and green bell pepper; cook and stir until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup water and stir, scraping the pan to dissolve any brown flavor bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 3 Mix in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Add 1 more cup water and return mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the mixture is thick, about 40 minutes.

Step 4 Season with salt , black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.

DH likes to add hot spices to just about everything and we are finding out that my taste has changed since the stroke . Some dishes seem way too spicy for me.
