Ingredients
- 4-5 cups elderberries, picked off their stems
- 1 cups sugar
- ½ whole lemon, juiced
- 2-3 TBSP frozen apple juice concentrate or ¾ cup apple juice
- 1 TBSP pectin
Instructions
- With a fork, pick elderberries off their stems. You can freeze them beforehand to make this easier.
- Place the elderberries, lemon juice, apple juice concentrate, and sugar in a medium pot and bring to a boil over medium heat until the elderberries are mostly popped.
- Add the pectin, stir well, and continue to boil for another 5 mins.
- Do a gel test: drop a bit of jam on a cold plate. If it gels, it's ready. Otherwise continue boiling it or adding a bit more pectin.
- Fill in sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch to the top of the jar. Put lids on a process as desired, such as pressure canning or water bath canning.
