Anyone have a good recipee for elderberries?

Question

Mine are almost ripe and I still have a bag full of them in my deep freezer from last year and I've got no idea what to do with them.

Wow, great recipes and such variety, too! The one pie sounds just like regular fruit pie, and my mom would probably be most interested in the pies. I'll probably try adding some to apple pie as you all suggest. That bread recipe is really intriguing and looks very very healthy. I wonder which pie is better, using it as a regular fruit pie with sugar and lemon juice or trying it with the vinegar? It's so hard to find elderberry recipes. You guys are great.
