This is the yield from two sieves of elderberries. It was very labor-intensive. To make the jam, I removed the berries from the clusters and picked out the unripe ones, then brought them to a boil with a little water and processed them through a food mill to extract as much fruit pulp as possible. Some were then processed with vanilla and some without, using a 2:1 ratio of jam sugar. It tastes really good. I processed the other berries into juice using the steam juicer. Next year, I’ll just need small bottles so I can drink the juice like a shot in the winter.
