Stay healthy this winter! Make Elderberry Syrup.

This batch of elderberry syrup is from our farm-fresh elderberries! You can make the syrup with dried elderberries, too!
All you need is black elderberries and water.
You can add honey and essential oils if you choose. We always add them, because it’s just another boost of immune support.

I use a steam juicer. 9 lbs of berries per load. 25 minutes later I'm draining two quarts of concentrate, add 100 grams sugar(per quart), 1/4 tsp citric acid, and steam can for storage (future wine making).
For tincture half fill pint jar with fresh berries and cover with 80 proof (or greater) spirits. Place in dark space for three weeks. Dose; 1 tblspn in morning.
Love your videos.

Niiiice! Don’t you love steam canning??? It’s the best.
That’s exactly how I make my tincture also. 😄
