Local Elderberry Ambassadors Share the Fruits of Their Labor
TERESA KUROWSKI — ELDERBERRY LADY OF TENNESSEE
By William Harwood
If an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, then a cup of elderberries easily equals a bottle of benefits, at least when lovingly crafted by an expert who knows what she is doing. In our neck of the woods, we are fortunate to have not just one but two such elder ambassadors, each the founder of a thriving business based upon all things elderberry: Teresa Kurowski of the Elderberry Lady of Tennessee and Natalie Hart of Natalie’s Elderberries. While Teresa and Natalie have their own unique approaches, both are in Spring Hill and both are making elderberry syrup and other sweetly salubrious products from a genus of trees called the Sambucus, commonly known as elders. Done well, the results are flavorful concoctions of vitamin-rich, antioxidant goodness, and both Teresa and Natalie do elderberries well. We asked each to share a bit of her recipe for success.
