That 70s Dinner:
Chicken Elderberry
T
his family recipe came from Germany, along with my great
grandma Buss. Grandpa and Grandma Buss started a new
life here in Nebraska in the early 1900’s. Although I never knew
them, I’m told that in the old days in Germany it was originally
made with fish instead of chicken.
I still remember times as a young boy helping to gather wild
elderberries from along the country roads that were brought back to
the kitchen to be cooked down into the prized elderberry paste that
was the star ingredient of our beloved family dish. I doubt most of
our readers will be able to forage for their own wild elderberries, so
I’ve adapted the recipe to use a locally sourced elderberry syrup or
elderberry jelly made from fresh elderberries and locally produced
honey.
