When I write about infusing oils with herbs, I frequently advise that you do not need to use jojoba, apricot kernel or other more expensive oils for infusing herbs. I have had many people comment that they haven't heard of using organic extra virgin olive oil in preparing herb infused oils. I was looking at the label on the back of a bottle of rosemary infused oil that I purchased at Mountain Rose herbs. They used olive oil to infuse the rosemary. So, I guess others have used olive oil. Mountain rose herbs is one of the largest online retailers of herbs and herbal products.

Elderberry in Kansas: October 7th, 2009
Well, I sent out a post to our local freecycle list requesting that anyone who had wild elderberry that weren't planning to use, kindly allow me to forage for it on their property. I received a response from a fellow list member explaining that he had been foraging recently and that the elderberry he saw was withered and dried at this point. So, in a nutshell it is too late this year. He said elderberry is usually ready in early September. I shall try again next year to get some elderberry. The elderberry fruit, is used for preserves. The fruit and leaves can be made into tea or tinctured.
