I've been out forging again. (It is sure to make you popular with the neighbours.) Elderberries are a great reminder of my childhood and our dear old neighbour Mont...and free.
Method for me in Ireland:
Remove elderberries from stems and wash. Put into large kettle and mash with potato masher. Bring to a boil and cook for at least 10 minutes. Strain.
3 cups elderberry juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 1/2 cups jam sugar
Sterilize jars by heating in oven to 200 for 10 minutes. Boil lids.
Follow directions on jam sugar.
Makes 2 pints.
