Elderberry Gummies: So Easy A Kid Can Make Them :)

[@sdwalker31]

We just recently purchased a house on 15 acres. Your channel has been such an inspiration and it is a real joy to watch your videos. Thank you so much for doing this.

[@Brifromscratch]

Cool. Congrats.

[@mark-nt5pg]

Yours and the Rhodes family bring so much light into my world. Encourages me to live my life more richly.

[@Brifromscratch]

Glad to hear that we encourage you! That is our hope!

[@kmcquack8989]

I LOVE dumpster diving! My favorite is to find a University and dumpster dive the week after spring quarter ends. you wouldnt believe the great stuff the students are willing to leave behind !

[@Brifromscratch]

I have totally done that! A few years ago we lived near a small private college. They actually had the students put all of the stuff they were going to throw away in the gym. They then opened the gym to the public to come and get whatever they wanted. It was pretty cool and actually pretty gross too.

[@TheBryce2005]

Hello. I watch your vlog everyday when I get home from work. Watching you and the Rhodes family (and a few more) are my favorite vlogs and I look forward to them everyday. I watched the Rhodes vlog first so I know you are headed the their homestead to make elderberry gummies. Hope you have fun!!

[@Brifromscratch]

I didn't think about them giving it away! Ha!

[@sunflowersnbluebirds7362]

I love the video and music, it's so calming and happy. More people need to reuse, repurpose and reduce, never feel bad for dumpster diving! Thanks for another wonderful video.

[@Brifromscratch]

Thanks for the encouragement!

[@tracyhayward1920]

Love seeing your two families together.

[@bumblebee7922]

What a nice video! SO glad your family and the Rhodes family see each other often. The kids looked like they had a wonderful, fun time together! :) The gummies look yummy too!

[@Brifromscratch]

The gummies are sooo good! I can't wait to make some home made, healthy fruit snacks using this same concept!

[@SansaStarkofWinterfell]

Thank you for the link to the gelatin that was used. Not only might that help for my fibromyalgia, but there was also another product they sell too. Both items are great for joint care. Something that Fibromyalgia sufferers seriously must consider. Thank you Bri & Bekka!

[@kupmeiphom4711]

I'm addicted watching your vedio everyday. Kids are awesome!

[@YankeeLivn]

awesome job with the kids, hey there Mrs The Beautiful One as Justin would say. Very well put together video, thanks for sharing.

[@mark-nt5pg]

I just wanted to add, in reference to dumpster diving, sometimes we have to do things that might seem insane to some, in order to bring back a little sanity to the world.

[@BeBopGarden]

I love this comment. Thank you for making this point. It is a shame that anyone would look upon frugality, and minimalism as poverty. I personally feel empowered that I am able to make the most out of a little.

[@annes5812]

So fun to see you all together. Good friends rock.

[@Brifromscratch]

It is definitely fun living it! And that is true!

[@mariayelruh]

There are some food stores that do not put 'good' food in the dumpster... but leave it in grocery carts near it. They transfer it at the end of shift.

[@vickycushman8482]

I made the elderberry syrup the other day and my Husband has had a difficult time pouring it onto a spoon and getting it to his mouth as he is blind in one eye so this idea for gummy elderberries works great for us! Now I just need some molds! LOL!

[@Brifromscratch]

I have links in the description. I would love to hear how it goes!

[@karlagrecar4317]

great video, thanks for sharing the fun times.

[@caitlynhancock2045]

I love your channel! I would try out the gummies but I have a mammalian allergy where I can't have anything from a mammal but I'm sure they taste really good!

[@metoo3821]

I love the fact that you allow your children to go barefoot, the baby to crawl on the ground, and the general way they are allowed to entertain themselves. The majority of parents today raise their children in front of the TV or in the car as the moms run around town. Additionally, their homes are full of plastic toys so big there is no room for guests. All of my grandchildren were raised this way and not one is able to entertain themselves.

[@EHCBunny4real]

You should dumpster dive behind tool stores like Home Depot, and Lowes as well. One of my neighbors found an 100 ft drain auger and several packs of screw drivers.

[@EHCBunny4real]

asa lowe Have you seen the video from 'divers' who resell on Ebay. #interesting

[@EHCBunny4real]

asa lowe I thought it was illegal but in most states it's legal.

[@Brifromscratch]

I have actually thought about doing something similar, but more like selling from my thrift store finds. I am always finding really great stuff.

[@LindaPenney]

Awesome update thank for sharing

[@brendachapman9431]

My Sister and I stopped Dumpster Diving when we got Ringworms years ago!

[@gratituderanch9406]

Boiling for berries (getting out stains). Was always taught that’s how to get berry stains out. 😇 And we use the same stuff for making gummies. You can also add some vit. C powder to help boost preventative. Sometimes we add magnesium, but it doesn’t taste as good.

[@sharonkeef0522]

@ Bri omg u totally should have snapped some pictures of the baby on those leaves his little cheeks was same color and the blue jacket he was Waring totally awesome for the a pic js hope u guys had a great Christmas and New yr

[@LumnahAcres]

We enjoyed this video. We make our own elderberry syrup too,we will have to try making some gummies I am sure Olivia will love them. Thanks Shared on reddit

[@bumblebee7922]

Amazon, Rebekka said. She linked it under her video.

[@LumnahAcres]

Bumble Bee thanks they put the links in the show notes here too. lol

[@Brifromscratch]

Yes, the gummies are great. Thanks.

[@avonleanne]

LOL..ok, not finished watching yet, but when your baby was sitting in the grass and had "that face" I said...oooh I know that face, at least when mine was a baby....then you said we gotta do something else first before we go, I laughed so hard!!!! my daughter would just concentrate and her little face would go pink...so cute! LOL

[@VisoMoraine]

What a beautiful life.

[@halobenson2267]

Good morning! I hope you have u guys have a wonderful day!

[@Brifromscratch]

Thank you!

[@terigibbs-kramper944]

I agree...dumpster diving is fun!

[@sandhillson]

I remember those days.....

[@lassenplumasin-homehealthm4734]

hahaha he had other business to dooo before getting in the car. What a beautiful morning there in NC.

[@Brifromscratch]

It was a perfect fall day.

[@2smurfalicious]

I love this. We do orange juice or lemon and honey with asorbic acid, my kiddos love them! I stopped using our molds due to the gummies adhering. How do you get them to release so cleanly?

[@Brifromscratch]

Coconut oil, but we did some without and they came right out. So maybe it is the molds we used? I put a link to the molds we used in the description. Or maybe your molds are well loved. Either way try coconut oil.

[@TheYarnCloset]

So you refrigerate to set. And I’m assuming you store them in the fridge too? Yes?

[@georgiagardengirlshomestea1560]

Do you get Maple syrup from that maple tree?

[@carrieashley6465]

Bet do same thing with raseberries or mall berries yummy

[@imabeliever4341]

Speaking of 'dumpster' diving . . you're little guy did a good job. lol

[@Brifromscratch]

ha!!!!!!

[@andyquin78]

There's always room for gello!!!! with a G!

[@Lostpanda123]

Gelatin and other surfactants are the main reason for many diseases in the gut/colon. This compound is used as a additive in almost everything nowadays, this may explain the raise in colitis... Greetings from a pharmacist.

[@TheBonnieberry]

how far are you from the Rhodes?

[@Brifromscratch]

Quite a ways, but it's worth the drive.

[@CristinaTorress_]

how long does it take for the dummies to set?

[@williamodonovan4895]

Mr Brown seem to like them

[@williamodonovan4895]

your 100 percent right to much goes to the tip I have bread three days out off date and its ok

[@TheDurhamFamilyFarm]

Hey do you know if elderberry is safe during pregnancy? I can't find a definitive answer....

[@Brifromscratch]

I don't :)

[@williamdrake6711]

Stephanie Durham this is a article about elderberry and it says it's completely safe for you and your baby during pregnancy. www.google.com/amp/www.momjunction.com/articles/is-elderberry-safe-during-pregnancy_00376880/%3Famp%3D1?client=ms-android-americamovil-us

[@mamamialove]

happy happy

[@davidsandlin9686]

It's a shame that you have to defend your choices in regards to minimizing waste. When it comes down to it humans were actually scavengers through out history. It's only recently that we would ever think about tossing food that was still edible. You think in the depression people said oh it went one day past the expiration date toss it and if anyone try's to eat it shame them. Even though the date is just contrived by a computer and actually doesn't mean the food is bad.

[@Brifromscratch]

Thank you for your encouragement. It's ok, people were just concerned :)

[@aaknrbc]

I wish I had a dumpster diving partner.

[@527cami]

Please please have the kids wear helmets when on their bikes

[@rwatts2155]

re dumpster diving... I LOVE to dumpster dive. I am not impoverished although I am not wealthy. I just hate to see the perfectly good food go to waste in a landfill when I or someone I know can use it. I share the foods with neighbors, etc. I get whole hams, chickens, steaks, and eggs, yogurt, cheese, etc. from dumpster diving. The only thing wrong with the food is that the food has reached their "sell by" date. The insurance companies insist that the foods be tossed on the sell by dates to avoid any possibility of suites. How sad ! I, however, have stocked my freezer with all kinds of meats and I also have canned lots. I have to say BULLY for you for having the guts to bring this subject up in a public forum ! Frankly, I think more should be done to FORCE the large supermarkets to donate the foods to food banks, etc. and to make it illegal to waste perfectly good food! Thanks for sharing !
