Anti-viral Elderberry Jelly!
(update 10-25-20: I made a batch of elderberry syrup this week if you want to try that instead of jelly--it's a simpler process. You'll need to have some honey handy--or vegetable glycerin! ) Hi, this is Lori Fiechter working with my homegrown elderberries today. I was making elderberry syrup before it was cool. I mean, I was even growing my own elderberry plants before elderberry syrup was the in thing in our neighborhood. Bragging rights, oh, sí.
But this year, I'm trying something new. It dawned on me a few days ago that I'd seen elderberry jelly in a specialty shop somewhere. I looked up a recipe and decided to at least see how elderberry jelly would turn out. Besides, I’m on a jelly-making roll right now. (one might say I'm on a jelly roll)
This jelly is much more concentrated than the elderberry syrup I normally make. I'm not sure how much of it to take; I usually take
1 T. of syrup several times of day at the first sign of a scratchy throat. I'm guessing I'll only need to take around a teaspoon or so of jelly. I made another batch of naan, so I can always eat in on that!
Also in this video, I'll show you my special trick for separating berries from the stems. I think it's rather clever.
You know, I never had much time in years past for jam and jelly making once school started, but this year I have plenty of time to experiment! It seems like such a very, very long time ago that I was writing lesson plans, making cloze lyrics for Spanish pop songs, and grading papers. I hated grading papers... I don't miss all that work and time investment!
Of course, I still miss my students. That's different. Completely different!
Elderberry Jam -- EASY!
Join me as I make elderberry jam for the first time! The recipe was easy and you can
follow along to make your own:
3 1/2 cups berry juice
1 package powdered pectin
2 tablespoons lemon juice
5 cups sugar
Combine fruit juice, pectin and lemon juice in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add sugar, stirring until dissolved. Return to a rolling boil. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Ladle hot jelly into hot (sterilized) jars, leaving about 1/2 inch headspace (or 1/4 inch). Close with two-piece lids and process 5 minutes in a boiling-water canner. Makes about 6 half pints.
