How to Make Elderberry Jam - Nutritious & Delicious
I have recently posted a new video which details the canning process in more detail and discusses other methods of canning which are considered to be safer than the open kettle method shown here. Please consider watching that video as well -
Here's how I made elderberry jam from the bushes growing in my backyard. It's actually quite simple to do, super cheap, and ensures that I'll have an awesome source of vitamins and antioxidants available in the winter time when fresh fruit is more difficult to come by.
Elderberries contain a lot of vitamin C, decent levels of iron & vitamin B6, and many other minerals and nutrients!
I realized after I recorded this that I incorrectly stated that agar agar is made from a root. It is actually made from algae. Arrow root powder is made from a root and can be used similarly to thicken soups, jams, ice creams, etc. Apologies for that error.
The most important thing to note is the last topic I mention in the video. Elderberry should be cooked as the seeds have a toxic compound that can lead to cyanide poisoning. Cooking destroys these compounds and makes the seeds safe to eat.
I look forward to making more fruit preserves as my food forest continues to grow and develop.

The Only Real Solution To Fix Runny Jam Or Jelly (Using ONE Simple Ingredient!)
Runny jam is the worst! But no longer is it necessary to sit idly by with disappointment!
Here is the product that I use in the video:
For a vegan source:
Hello everyone and welcome to this video! Today I'm doing a bit of a public service announcement here. You see I see all of these posts on canning groups and places like that where people have made Jam or jelly and they spent all this time and money and for whatever reason it turns out runny. Then invariably the story involves tears and crying. When they bring this to the group everyone of course says well we call that syrup. You just made syrup, or you just made ice cream topping. And I applaud these efforts to make people feel better and make use of things that didn't quite turn out. But to me that's kind of like saying I'm sorry your team didn't win the Superbowl , but hey at least they were the conference champions! Now does that really make you feel better? No it does not and that's because nobody cares about conference champions and if somebody really wanted to make ice cream topping they would just make ice cream topping. But really this whole situation is unnecessary. Never again will you have to cry over runny Jam or jelly that you spent hours making and I'll tell you why. While it's true that after you've can something that's it it's done and there's no way to easily un can it, fix it and recan it, you're looking at a whole lot of extra time and wasted materials. But let's not forget that once you open the jar there are things you can do. The Ball canning book says that if your salsa is too runny you can add cornstarch to it, again only after you've canned it. Well we're not going to fix our running jelly with cornstarch, although maybe you can I don't know I guess I've never tried. Instead we're going to go back to our Childhood Days and revisit something you probably ate in elementary school...
