5. Elderberry - Sureau noir (Sambucus nigra)

Description

NL : Elder bushes can usually be seen at the edge of the forest. Many regional dishes contain elderberry or blossom. By steeping the flower owls in white wine or gin for a few days, you can make an original spring aperitif. If you soak them in pancake batter and fry them in hot oil, you will get a delicious dessert. A deep red juice can be squeezed from the berries. Cooked with sugar, this gives the well-known cough syrup from grandmother's time. The green parts of the elderberry, especially the bark, have a typical smell and were used as laxative. The branches are hollow pipes in which there is soft marrow. An 'iere uiter' is someone who has the time to wry out the marrow and cut out an onion. The marrow or elder kernel was also used in natural history museums to sting insects. -

FR : Les sureaux se développent surtout en lisière des bois. De nombreuses recettes locales font usage des fleurs ou des fruits de sureau. En laissant macérer quelques jours des inflorescences dans du vin blanc ou du genièvre, on obtient un apéritif printanier original. On peut aussi les enrober de pâte à crêpes et les faire frire dans l'huile. Les fruits pressés donnent un jus rouge foncé qui, cuit avec du sucre, donne un sirop contre la toux. Les parties vertes du sureau, et surtout l'écorce, dégagent une odeur typique et ont été employés comme laxatif. Les rameaux contiennent une moëlle. Evidés, ces rameaux peuvent être taillés et servir de flûtes. La moëlle de sureau est aussi employée dans les musées d'histoire naturelle pour épingler les insectes.
