Farmers marked might have gooseberries Or ask for them, create a demand. They are in the same family as red currents and tastes lovely They are a rich source of vitamin C and contains a high level of pectin As for elderflower they grow like weed in hedges here in Denmark. You can use elderflower concentrate
