Elderberry Jelly image

Version 2. From my files. I would do a hot water bath, not parafin to seal.. "The most common use of elderberries is for jelly-making. Their juice produces a clear, ruby-red jewel-like delicacy with a sparkling flavor to match."

Time 25m

Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 lbs elderberries
1 lemon, juice of
1 (1 3/4 ounce) box fruit pectin
4 1/2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Heat the berries over a low fire until the juice starts to flow and then simmer the fruit for 15 minutes.
  • Strain the liquid through a double layer of cheesecloth (easier if you cook the fruit in the evening and let it drain overnight).
  • Mix the elderberry and lemon juices along with just enough water to make three cups of fluid.
  • Add the pectin, bring the mixture to a boil and stir in the sugar.
  • Bring the jelly to a full boil again for one minute, pour it into sterilized glasses and cover the jars with paraffin.
