#elderberry #elderberrysyrup
I’d love a tour of your fridge/pantry! Wondering what a homesteader “medicine cabinet” looks like
You can also cook this in an Instant pot. Add all the ingredients Jess recommends, and then set your instant pot to 9 minutes. After it beeps, you can do a quick release and then follow her directions from there. I've done that several times and it comes out great. Enjoy!!
We add straight syrup to unsweetened iced tea. We let everyone add what they want to their own glass, and I am sure its more than a spoonful. No one thinks of it as medicine, but as a treat. It's that good.
I love how you encourage us to use our inner wisdom with dosage, etc. So rarely heard, and so important. Thanks sista!
Hope I don't sound creepy. But I would love to meet you! I have watched you all year long and I just love the way you live your life. I can't wait to have some land one day where I can "farm" the way u do! Thanks for all the videos and congrats on all the subscribers! U deserve it!
I love the way you "measure" the ingredients, the same way I do! - Jeri
I can say hands down Elderberry is the very best flu / cold prevention and remedy. A few years ago we were hit by the flu. I was the only one that consistently took it. Needless to say I cared for 5 family members with flu and was Blessed not to get it. I use the same recipe as Jess,its just good stuff !!
I’m so excited!!! I have been looking for a good recipe for a while now... and I trust you 😂😂!!!! Watching now and you’re the best!! Thanks!!!!!
Thank you for this recipe I have elder berries on our property and I'm looking at propagating more plants this spring. I will be getting cuttings from these plants and I have a few friends who are wanting to have these in their yard as well. I'm very excited about expanding these plants, I understand their benefits but haven't really been serious about using them. I watched a video by OG with Doug and Stacy they were getting new starts planted around their chicken coop. So thank you again for sharing your life with us, God bless dear and your family💞
thank you. you mentioned kombucha...would you do a video on that, please?
I would also like that.
I'd be interested too😊
Yes!
She did a video about it long ago but recommend a different users videos who had been doing it longer i believe.
Wow. A jar of honey that size is nearly $30 here. It was $9, 5 years ago and I've watched it rise 😭 makes me want to keep bees!
I want to try the rosehips!
Thank you for this video Jess! I just planted an Elderberry Bush this fall. I know I need to get another one so hopefully in the spring I can find one. I’m glad to see you’re feeling better... if this was filmed after the weekend. If not, I hope you ARE feeling better ☺️
Hi to your family and have a great day!
I have been making elderberry syrup for several years now. I can a case of 12 pints at a time, so we have it whenever we need it. I gave my mom and sister some last year, and they call it their crack juice - bahaha. but for all of you out there, another option if Amazon is out or too expensive for the same product and usually cost a lot less is on www.iHerb.com (shipping is normally free if you spend $20.00). Thanks again Jess for such a great video. we love our homemade elderberry syrup throughout the year and elderberry juice over ice during the summer mixed with a little water -its very refreshing.
Thanks Jess! I'm sick as a dog and made this last night to help with my sickness but to also prevent my sweetheart from catching the ugliness. This is delicious! I added lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. Really yummy!
Happy to see you are feeling better.
Growing our own elderberries...easy $
I love how there are so many variations to elderberry syrup! I will add in a few of your ingredients to mine! I have already made this years first batch with Amy Fewell's recipie.
My variation I add nutmeg & vanilla extract. My kids love this recipe the best
I love that you are spreading information about herbal or “food” medicine!! You can also make gummies from the syrup by adding some gelatin! Great for kids! ❤️🌱🌿🍃
I have our elderberry syrup video we did last week coming out this Saturday, but it's nothing like your full recipe.....thanks for sharing how yours looks
You're just the best! I learn so much from you.
Great share, well explained!
This is helpful, wish you had a food medicine Playlist. I've watched your videos for gardening and chickens but when I searched elderberry syrup I was like hey I know her! Haha
Loved your video. Never thought about buying the berries in bulk & just storing them, however, NOW I will!! Thanks for sharing!
I add it to my coffee in the morning! Yummy
Howling Dog Ranch: Amanda Eder oh I’ve never thought of that!
I really need to make some! Thank you for sharing the process. Seems pretty easy and straightforward
wonderful and healthy. so much better when you can make your own. My mother-in-law from Germany taught me this many years ago. We would take weekend leisure drives around town and look for them along the roadsides. She has an eagle eye to spot them. Lucky enough to have my own bushes now.
Good timing! I’ve been wanting to make elderberry syrup for a while. I woke up this morning with a sore throat.
Dede Tudor I forgot about oregano! Thanks!
Gathered wild elderberry, so happy to find your video. I'm making syrup today.
I have never had elderberry syrup, but my mom makes elderberry blackberry jelly and it is the bomb.
My elderberries just arrived, cant wait to make this. Thanks for sharing Jess 🥰
Thank you, Jess... Just shared this on Facebook! Great recipe and great advise- 👏🥰 Hope that you are feeling much better so far this week! Blessings to you all - 💓🙏🥰
Thank you Jess! I made this last night/today & shared your video with those I will be gifting it to- Merry Christmas Mrs.Sunshine! You are so loved!🥰🥰
Your hair looks so good! From one somewhat curly girl to another. :)
I have been making elderberry syrup for the past year now, I always have the ingredients in my cupboard. I take it anytime I will be going out around other people, I take a double dose if I will be somewhere where there are sick people (like doctors offices). I also make it for my daughter and her family.
I mix this into blueberry syrup for the kids to top their pancakes with, they know its there but it tastes amazing and they love it. Blessed Be
Great idea, thank you❣🥰
I added blood orange and star anise to mine! Star anise is good for respirator congestion
Great information! I plan to make mine tomorrow and glad I found your helpful video
Thank you so much for showing this with me.
It looks pretty easy
Searching for a syrup recipe and I come across yours. Im already a subscriber so very happy I found this video. Im using fresh berries from a secret patch that took me 5 years to find. Also using honey from my Uncles farm.
I grow elderberries very easy and pretty plants.
I just finished the elderberry syrup. Oh my goodness... it’s the best I’ve ever had! This recipe is IT! 🙌🏻
Diane what kind of cinnamon sticks did you use and where do you purchase your sticks? I want to give this a try
thanks :-)
mawpatti i had 2 cinnamon sticks left in a jar that I’ve had for years. You can get them anywhere in the spice section. I also put a couple shakes of Ceylon cinnamon since I only had 2 sticks. I hope you do make it! It’s a great recipe!
You have such a wealth of knowledge. I alway learn something watching your videos. Thanks so much. Dawn.
Another Tuber I watched pointed out that raw honey loses all its benefits when heated to temps required for canning, so just use sugar. Cheaper & more readily available.
I'm not sure if some sort of beneficial conversion occurs for our consumption but I regularly turn the sugar into a simple syrup when wine making. The conversion that does occur when used for this purpose eliminates the "lag time" for the yeast to begin utilizing it.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! I hope you are feeling better 💛🙏
I hope ypur feeling better and this was shot after your feeling better. You look beautiful!
This is right on time! We need more and I wanted to make our own this time!!!
Thank you! I just got over strep. I had to go on antibiotic but I think that was partly because I waited too long. I tried elderberry first, but I didn't start soon enough. I am definitely making your recipe!
Hey Jess!! This looks so awesome! We just bought our first house on a half acre and I am so excited to finally have the space to grow lots of produce and fruit. Thank you so much for sharing! I always wondered about elderberries, definitely growing these on the property!
Really enjoy these videos, as someone who is new to 'food' medicine I hope you do more of these in the future...
Thank you Jess! This week we had a snow day. I was at home with our three kiddos. I made my first elderberry syrup using your recipe. Looking forward to its great benefits. I learn so much from your vlogs. You're awesome!
Beyond perfect timing on this video. Doing this on Saturday and didn't have a recipe...Now I do..YAY..Btw Elderberries absolutely work, y'all❤
Thanks so much! I have been looking at elderberry syrup. Now I will try it.
you pulled out the exact bag of elderberries i have lol nice
I use elderberry faithfully, and we like to add it to our hot tea/hot tottie on days we feel sick or feverish. It is a great sweetener for just regular hot tea also.
I hope you are feeling better! I use Black Elderberry, especially in the wintertime! It is awesome and definitely works. I also use echinacea and stay pretty well when all the crud goes around this time of year.
I just made a delicious plant-based batch with DATE SYRUP! Very healthful, more so than maple or agave, for those wanting to not use honey! 💚🌱✌️🙏
Love love love elderberry! We love that it has such a great taste with so many health benefits.
Awesome stuff
Great ideas to share the cost....
I made my first batch ever Jess! Ty for getting me inspired to use the elder berries in our local food forest! Yum I put my own intuitive twists on it.
Jess they are so easy to grow.
I’ve always wondered if you made the same choices as I make for my family. Now I know. ✊🏼
Thanks Jess...bought some dried elderberry on Amazon last week (pity I didn't watch this before buying but should be ok) and hope to make my first batch today - in Kingston, Jamaica 😊
I love using elderberries!
Really good instructions. Thanks for sharing!
It looks good! I want some now, haha, and I love those bottles ♥
Jeanne LaMar I thought the same thing! Super cute bottles!
@@hiddenhillshomestead4826 Those bottles are available at our liquor store, German beer. Heavy duty darn glass because they were shipped over the Atlantic Ocean.
That looks so yummy... I think my in-laws have elderberry...might have to make a trip 😆... I'm also Always getting sick so this sounds perfect. Thank you, Jess!
Thank you for this simple recipe indeed. I now have several slightly different recipes, I will try them all, just for testing out flavours :D
I bless you too
Love,
Diana from The Netherlands/Holland
I need some of this but cant afford it Thank you fr sharing I never knew this
Sounds yummy
You can also freeze this in ice cube trays and once it's frozen dump into a ziploc and when you use up what you have fresh, take out a few cubes and drop in a jar and thaw in the fridge. I have actually had mold grow on the top once so if I make a double batch, I freeze part of it.
Thank you so much! I’m going to make it now.
Thanks so much Jess! I just put a pound in my Amazon cart. A friend of mine makes Elderberry tincture with our local berries. It is way to bitter to take by itself so this syrup looks really good a simple.
I’ve been wanting to do this!😁
I forage fresh Elderberries around the same time as blackberries. Do they not have them growing in your area? They are a fantastic tree to have in the garden as provide delicious flowers for elderberry “champagne” early in the season, bees love them and of course the birds love the berries too!
I was just wondering about this. Thanks for sharing!!
I'm hoping to find an elderberry bush cutting next year to grow my own. I'm also looking into adding Aronia. In the meantime I'll go ahead and order some elderberries so that I can make some syrup. With 4 kids 2 of which are in public school we need all the help we can get
If ever had anything elderberry before the Hannibal life conference, I don't remember, but I drank the Elderberry kombucha and bought some elderberry Jam. I put it on my pancake, until it was gone. Now I kinda crave the tast. Thanks for sharing! God bless!
Oh Thank You so much. I can't be afford to buy but if I can make it I'll do fine. I see that as supporting myself versus someone else. 100% Mark Up is Greed. Which isn't right. Again Thank You God Bless and Peace Be With You All ☮️
I’ve been curious about this, thanks Jess!
You can also forage for the berries!
I make this too with a few different aspects. Some of the people that eat it refuse to eat honey because they think it’s disgusting how it comes from bees the way it does. I like honey but some others don’t. I just use a simple syrup in place of the honey but I also add Saigon cinnamon sticks and have also added blueberries at times.
Making this today
Thanku. God bless you too
For adults, you can add brandy to the cooled mix to make it shelf stable. I like the blackberry brandy and make large batches every few years.
How much brandy do you add?
@@saundraeftink7845 I put half the amount of the finished elderberry juice.
Hey! I'm excited to be starting my first batch of this as I type. Jess, can you do a video about how you make your kombucha, or some of your favorite flavors? Thanks! God bless you and your sweet family.
Planted 5 different kinds of elderberry trees one 2 years ago and 4 this last year. At two years it really produces. We are an 8B zone and they grow wild out here but they are a power blue type. I will be trying this. Great video thanks. I would think you could grow elderberry's at your location.
Im deffenetly going to make this. I usually buy the elderberry gummies off Amazon, but it's not cost effective. Thank you for sharing! 😊❤
Just made some, now for the flu test!
Making some next week!
Thanks for sharing with us great video
Here to learn!! Can’t wait ❤️😍
Ty jess gonna try this!
Thank you for sharing!!
I have a quart and a half dehydrated elderberries on the shelf with my dehydrated vegetables. I also have made two pints of tincture half given to family as we rarely ever get sick. O and I have a half gallon of fire cider almost ready. Can’t be two prepared. Diabetic so gave my recipe and 1oz dried elderberries to daughter.
I'm making some this week!💖
Thanks for sharing!
I also add lemon to mine its wonderful
I think its important to note that you CAN overdo it if you have autoimmune issues. When your immune system is already elevated because its fighting something added on something like elderberry kicks it up a notch and if you're not careful you can overdo it and send yourself into a flair up because you've over stimulated the immune system. As someone who has autoimmune issues I have to be careful how much I take and know when to back off on it.
Here I am 4 years after this video to see if anyone is talking about this. I was on my 2nd 1lb package and kept wondering why my Iritis kept coming back after treatment. I have stopped the elderberry syrup and have not had a problem. I'm sure Jess knows this since she has skin issues from time to time.
