@@AdventuresinGardening I always use a very fine strainer after cooking my elderberry's down for juice and I have no issues with seeds. I always strain and mash the cooked berries to extract all the juice I can; even apart from the juice that cooked up. Love, love, love my elderberry jelly and syrup. I take the syrup/tincture myself; but it is good to freeze some of it so it can be thawed later due to expiring if kept too long in fridge.
You can get Pomona’s through Amazon or a local health food store will usually carry it. No I’ve not used chokecherry! You’ll have to let me know how it comes out 🙂
Hi Dawn, I followed the directions on the Pomona packet so I can only speak for that. Half pints processed for 10 minutes, keeping in mind to add 1 minute for every 1000 feet above sea level. Thanks and have a great day!
I’m watching 👍
Great vlog! I want to buy some!
The jam looks really good! Makes me wish I had an elderberry bush :) Thanks for a kitchen vlog!
It is also because of the seeds. It is a very seedy jam. I like it anyway:)
Yes I actually like the crunch of the seeds! It was totally worth making.

That looks delicious! I wonder if elderberry muffins would be any good?
Sounds like a yummy idea!
I was told I could not eat the berry so when I seen you eating it I have to ask?
Elderberries need to be cooked. Thanks for watching 🙂
Thankyou for your jam video Heather. Have you ever made chokecherry? Where do I get pamona pectin?

How long do you process?
