Making My Favorite Elderberry Jelly
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- This is my absolute favorite jelly. It takes quite a bit of time to make a couple small jars, but is worth it. I grow my own berries so the pectin is the major expense for making it.
Here is the link to the recipe.

My tip is to put them in the freezer on a sheet pan and after about 2 hours they will come right off the stem without staining anything.... that's what I do for my currents
I will have to try that. Thanks for watching.
Also: USE A FORK!
Freeze the berries & pick them off the stem with a plastic fork, while still frozen. Makes for a much faster, cleaner job. Freezing also makes the berries release more juice & easier.
I will have to try that. Thanks for watching.
I use a fork to pull the berries off the find stems and it works well.
My aunt uses a small fro comb ( unused) to scrape the berries off the pods.
@@Forevertrue fro comb! Cool! HA HA !!!
I pick mine and put them in a brown paper bag overnight in the freezer. Next day roll the top of the bag closed and shake the bejeezus out of it. Makes for easier work!!
Thanks for sharing. It was the best help I could get than any other video. I've done my jam and it turned out great!!! 👍👍👍👍
Elderberries make fantastic jelly. It's easy to make if you take your time. Thanks for watching.
Ingredients
6 quarts elderberries (about 3 pounds) to make 3 cups of juice
3 cups juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
4-1/2 cups sugar
1 box powdered pectin
1/2 teaspoon butter, optional
Directions
For Juice: Discard stems and crush berries. Place in saucepan. Slowly bring to boil until juice starts to flow. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Place jelly bag or 3 layers damp cheesecloth in large bowl. Pour in fruit. Hang bag and let drain until dripping stops. Press gently to get all the juice squeezed out.
Measure exact amount of juice into 6- or 8-quart saucepan. (You can add up to 1/2 cup water to get exact amount of juice needed if berries don’t make enough juice.) Stir in lemon juice.
In separate bowl, measure sugar.
Stir pectin into juice in saucepan. Add butter to reduce foaming, if desired.
Bring mixture to full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar quickly. Return to full rolling boil and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
Ladle hot mixture quickly into prepared jars, filling to within 1/8 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cap and process for 5 minutes in boiling-water bath.
Be sure to use the recipe on the pectin you buy for best results. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 i just picked and froze my berries few hours ago..
😁😁😁😁 Me too ! I use that lemon juicer every day .
It works great once you figure out how to use it. Thanks for watching.
I have to add water to mine and I cannot get that much juice out of mine. Also, the birds, the birds, they eat them so I have to race the birds. When I pick them, I hear them squacking at me!
Birds love them. Other fruit juice would also work. Thanks for watching.
Yes-found a recipe with honey-will try
I have heard mixed results when using honey and pectin. Let me know how it turns out.
I've never had elderberries. Also what do you do with your hops? Thank you
Elderberries have a very unique flavor. I haven't saved any good hops yet. The winds here usually dry them out too quickly. Thanks for watching.
can you tell mehow younall clean your cheesecloth or muslin clothsafter straining berries through tia
Elderberries leave a yellowish coating that is almost impossible to remove so most of the time we just toss them. Lemon juice will remove some berry stains. Thanks for watching.
Great video. What climate zone are you in, and what variety of elderberries do you have?
Thanks. 6b and just elderberry plants with no name we got from the local soil and water extension annual bare root plant sale. Thanks for watching.
You sound like Woody Harrelson! We have a ton of wild thimble berries, I think I'm going to make some jelly!
Are thimble berries the same as elderberries? Thanks for watching.
Unemployed Redneck Hillbilly Creations Thimble berries are not the same. My favorite berry. Its very delicate and when ripe almost falls apart as you pick it. A great flavor of its own and the seeds are so tiny that the texture is very different too. Yum. Props to anyone who takes enough time to process thimble-berries.
Do you have a wine recipe
I have videos about making it. Just elderberries, sugar, and yeast. Takes 4 years till it's good to drink. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I was wanting to make Elderberry Mead how come it takes 4 years
It tasted like rocket fuel the first 3 then mellows out.
i love this video, thank you but the problem is sugar, too much sugar, is there any way to do it without sugar ?
I don't think it would be anu good without sugar. You may be able to make a syrup without sugar. Thanks for watching.
Where is the receipe???
It's in the pectin box that you choose. Each form of pectin has slightly different ingredients. Thanks for watching.
Runs off to order wooden rack
Thanks for watching
Thank you for this helpful tutorial! I'm a rookie with Elderberries, and I'm sitting here laughing at my purple hand.😂🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Glad it was helpful. Rubber gloves can help. Don't worry it should be gone in a week 😮. Thanks for watching.
And a second thought is to take all that waste and put it in some vodka to make a elderberry tincture
I just compost it, but that would work if you like vodka. Thanks for watching.
What is the tincture used for?
@Janette Lavender the tincture is used for colds and flu and coughs it works there lot of videos on the elderberry tincture hope this helps
@@bobinmissouri I thought that the stems and leaves are a bit toxic?
@@kristinaginorio1344 I don't use anything but the berries when there ripe and yes the leaves and stems are toxic
Thank you for such a nice video
thank you for not playing music
thank you for talking explaining things very informative
we found out we got tons of elderberries here and there’s so many great health benefits thank you very much for your video I learned a lot I didn’t know about rolling the lemons Thank you sincerely Sally
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
This is my absolute favorite jelly to make, too. The sugar in the recipe is for preservation and because our body carries nutrients better to cells WITH sugar. I put the sugar from the beginning and it draws more juice out, breaks the fruit. And I use hand blender to break the peel of the fruit, where a lot of the antioxidants are. I never followed a recipe and I never had a jar grow mold. It’s a beautiful fruit.
It has an amazing flavor that no other berries can match. Goes really good on fresh baked bread with a little butter. Thanks for watching.
Stick the lemons in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Works better than rolling.
First time I have heard that. Will try it. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful jelly!!! My mother made this jelly every year...thanks for bringing back that memory of yummy elderberry sandwiches in my school lunches. :-D
There are plenty of wild elderberries around. You should make a batch. It's amazing. Thanks for watching.
Where is the receipe????
@@pennygibbs2038 He put it in the link below the video
My mother passed in July and we always went elderberry picking and she would make jelly. I picked 25 lbs today. My wife is making syrup with her half and I am making jelly in my mother's memory and sending it to family
Thanks for a well done video . I just planted my bushes last fall so may not get fresh this coming year . Maybe I can use dried elderberry to make a batch...dried makes good syrup. Thanks for sharing and it really looks yummy !!
I have frozen them to use later for wine and jelly with good luck. This jelly is amazing. Thanks for watching.
My wife will kick me out of this kitchen. haha I'll bet
Grapes were messy enough. I can't wait to try elderberries!
Elderberries stain everything. My favorite jelly. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Thanks for making this video. I laughed a bunch of times and feel like I learned something. Never made jelly before with my grape juice. I ended up just canning it all. Still drinking it.
This was a really cool and well made video! Thank you for taking the time!
If you can find some elderberries it has amazing flavor. Thanks for watching.
I don't understand why 2 people gave a thumbs down on this video! Trolls who have nothing better to do I suppose. Great video! Thanks for taking the time and energy to make and share this video with all of us. I'm gonna use this recipe on my next batch of elderberry jelly.
I guess some viewers just don't like elderberry jelly. Elderberries have a unique flavor that make this jelly great. If you get a larger harvest try making some wine that ages out to perfection after a couple years. Thanks for watching.
Randy Watts someone doesn’t like elderberries 😂
I don't think it is thumbs down worthy, but he's got some technique failures. His sugar measuring could be a hella lot better with a larger measuring cup and he doesn't measure very accurately. His fill levels were lower than the recipe calls for, his rim wiping is a little lackadaisical but the overall video is fine. I must acknowledge that his jar prep is better than mine, I don't put them in the canner beforehand. His advice about cabinet hinge strength is kind. I am incredibly thankful for the link to the jelly recipe - Mom and I have been guessing and ending up with something that is too sweet - hopefully the next batch will be better with the link he provided.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Elderberry jelly is the best jelly I've ever eaten! I've planted several elderberry shrubs in my garden. LOVE me some Elderberry jelly!
I guess that they were disappointed with how much work it is to make jelly. It’s not a mix that you add water to, the end…you have jelly. 😆
I haven’t made jelly in many years but it’s time to start again. I didn’t remember all the steps that were involved. I have the jars, lids and pots. I just need to get some fruit and pectin. I also need to tool to lift the jars out of the hot bath. I have so much more respect for my granny who always made homemade jelly and jams. Oh how I miss her. She was my favorite person in the whole world.
Jelly is easy to make if you take time and follow the pectin recipe. Good thing is if it fails to set up you still have a nice syrup for pancakes. Thanks for watching.
Thanks so much for the detailed instructions from harvest to table. I really appreciate it because so many others don't show the complete process.🤗
Try it. This jelly is awesome if you like the flavor of elderberries. Thanks for watching.
I would recommend mulching your elderberry plants this way the plants conserve water which makes them much more drought tolerant. Just something I learned from other people figured I would pass along the info good luck to everyone growing these really cool plants!!
They were not very good plants. In newer videos I planted 12 bare root plants last spring that have 500 to 600 pounds of elderberries on them now. Thanks for watching.
ruclips.net/video/9HhLgldqPoY/видео.html
Most AFFORDABLE ORGANIC DRIED ELDERBERRIES I found are from Konexcel / Pristine Nutri available on Amazon.
They come in 2 pounds bag. The price per pound is at least 30% below compared to all other brands. Elderberries have long shelf as they are dried so buying 2 pounds and saving money makes more sense.
Thanks for the great simple recipe.
We haven't tried drying ours yet. Thanks for watching.
EXCELLENT Video!! You did it just like mom used to do 50 years ago! This is the missing piece of my puzzle to make jam like mom used to do. We would harvest wild Elderberries on the side of the highway!I (safety issue?? but, I am still alive LOL) I CANNOT thank you enough! There were some things I forgot! But I did remember the cheese cloth! LOL Subbed... Looking at all other videos too. Thanks again!!
It is our favorite jelly and fairly easy to make if you follow the recipe in the pectin box. I wouldn't pick them from the roadside anymore if you are not in a rural area. All that crap they use to deice roads can't be healthy for you and the runoff definitely would be absorbed into the plants. Hope you find other videos that interest you. Thanks for watching and subbing.
Thank you for this great Jelly video!!! Definitely save worthy. I have already processed my elderberries this year. I would like to try this for next year. The reason why it isn’t recommended to double up is because you usually experience setting up issues. I tried with other jelly and surprise It didn’t gel up. Lol!!! Gotta learn from our mistakes!! B
Our elderberries won't be ready for another week or 2. Thanks for watching.
I made this with my elderberries and it turned out perfect!
It has such an amazing flavor. Glad you like it. Thanks for watching.
Your jelly looks delicious. I am going now to have somehomemade (by someone else) elderberry jelly with toast.
It is my favorite jelly. Hope that is on homemade bread. Thanks for watching.
Lol!
very VERY nice. LOVE the CRAFTY SKILLFUL OL SKOOL ways. Doesnt matter how digital or technological the world gets, can not replace crafty skills.
Big fan of crafty stuff, esp old school country style, we dont get to experience much in modern day esp in big fast paced high volume metropolitan cities.
So 6 yrs later Im watching this, how long did the batch last you? Did u store them in dry storage or freezer? and the mason jars, are they still in tact for canning today 6 yrs later?
How are the elderberry bushes doing?
Im so jealous ahah, I want to live this type of lifestyle in the future too!
Great work!!
Elderberry jelly will last up uo 10 years we find if kept in our cool dark root cellar and water bath processed. We always use it before that though. I planted new Elderberry plants 2 years ago and they are doing amazing. There's a video about them. They are a flavor that people either love or hate and luckily we both love it. Never give up pursuing your dreams. Thanks for watching.
Awesomeness! I love how sanitary you are. Great video. Thanks so much ♡
That is the one thing you have to be carefull with during canning. Thanks for watching.
My tip for stained fingers/ hands/skin - a bit of bleach on cloth/ paper towel/ dish sponge and rub directly onto skin , rinse well - stains instantly removed .
Another tip for preserving - fill your jars to under 1/4 th with water and place in microwave for about 5 minutes or as long as water is boiling vigorously - boil caps/lids separately for few minutes ( not in microwave )
Chlorine is not good for your skin and can react. The new lids no longer get boiled, just washed with hot water. Thanks for watching.
You can also use baby oil and it’s not as harsh on the skin. I use baby oil to get dried paint off too.
I've had this video in my favorites for a couple of years, and over the last week I've been harvesting, processing, and juicing elderberries that I've foraged. Today I am attempting to make the jelly based on your video. Mom says you do it just like she used to. Wish me luck!
Hope it came out great. We are elderberry less this year with the drought. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 It came out great! I made 12 jars, your video helped a lot!
I have made syrup with wild elderberries for years. Don't know why I haven't done jelly. I also don't use pectin because I mix either crabapple juice, gooseberry juice with them. I also do half of both elderberry and wild chokecherry. Wonderful syrup for pancakes and waffles.
Now off to make jelly. Num num.
We used to have a choke cherry tree at our last house. They make amazing jelly. Thanks for watching.
Imagine growing the world's greatest super fruit in your backyard. You might live to 130😄
I think adding sugar will cut that to 80 😲. Thanks for watching.
You are so very neat and pleasant to watch. Thank you, teacher.
Thanks. Just trying to get others interested in trying to make items like this. Thanks for watching.
You can mix your pectin in a 1/2 cup of sugar put in with your juice it makes it easier to dissolve then add the rest of your sugar at full rolling boil. Great job I need to have my husband watch you so he can help me lol .
Thanks for the tip. some things are quicker when done alone. Thanks for watching
In Romania we pick the flowers and use them for summer fizzy delicious drink. "Suc de soc "!
I never knew that they have berries.
I'm curious if it's as beautiful perfumes as the flowers 💛
The berries have a very unique flavor but have no aroma until crushed. I have also made some awesome wine from the berries. RUclips makes the world seem small. Thanks for watching.
sorry its this video - ruclips.net/video/DcnPVMi8g1c/видео.html, making mulberry jelly with the champion juicer - you put thru all the berries with their stems and small sticks would have to slash processing time.
If you havea machine like that it might work. The skins add flavor when cooked down and I have plenty of time. Thanks for watching.
I really appreciate this!! So interesting. My mom made elderberry jelly and I loved them so much so ill definitely be trying to make some more this fall :)
It's one of those flavors that people either love or hate. Good luck. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023
I wish I could find wild American Elderberries, I'd love to try the homemade jelly. I bought a lot of the European dried Elderberries (7 lbs) & I can make quite a bit of juice, syrup, gummies & I'll be making hard candy too. Hubby loved hard candy 🍬.
Maybe one day, Father willing. I bet it tastes amazing❣🙆♀️
Do u have to do bath after jelly is canned. I do that for my salsa but not my jelly normally
We go by what the recipes call for to be safe. Thanks for watching.
BTW, it does help to roll the lemons I tried it with making lemonade and when I didn't roll the lemons, I didn't get nearly as much juice. So you do want to roll them. Thanks for all the great videos you have made!!
I think that is an old wives tale 🤔. Nothing left with the squeeze. Thanks for watching.
Did you say “beer fridge”? Love it
Well it's really for beer, wine, and hard cider I make 🍺. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for another great video, I learned so much and I am excited to make some blueberry jelly or jam this year.
Home made jelly is the best. Thanks for watching.
What kind of elderberries and where can you locate plants. Thanks
I got the seedlings from my local soil and water district spring plant sale. Don't know the exact variety. Thanks for watching.
So did your wife make you sleep in the dog house after you told her she was doing it wrong all those yrs.?
Almost 🏠. Thanks for watching.
I've heard of Elderberry but I've never tasted it. With you warning us of the staining I couldn't help but think it would make a great dye for hand spun yarn. I just might have to get some and try it. Thanks for the video.
Try it if you get a chance, it is my favorite. It would be a nice blue color if it worked as a dye. Thanks for watching.
B Cobler and remember they are poisonous raw
Boiling the wife wrong smashing the lemons make more sense!? !
Somehow nobody wins. Thanks for watching.
Around the farm I have blackberries, muscadines and a row of elderberries. I've made jelly from all three but the elderberry is my favorite. To me it tastes like raspberries. I take my berries off the stems using a serving fork. The tines are a bit wider apart so you don't get so many berries stuck in the tines like you do with a regular dinner fork. Then I freeze the berries until I harvest enough for two batches of jelly. I tend to make enough syrup for two batches at one time and then I can make a batch or two with it and save the time of cooking down the berries twice. You can even can the juice if you need too to save it until you're ready to make jelly. I was watching your video while my berries are simmering down into juice this morning. One nice thing about elderberry jelly, most people have never had any so I always try to make a few extra jars to give away to family and friends at christmas.
I find people either love or hate the flavor of elderberries. This isone of my favorites and I also make great elderberry wine. Thanks for watching.
I haven't had elderberry jelly since I was a kid, my grandma made all those wild fruit jams and jellys.
They are the best. Wild cherries also make awesome jelly. Thanks for watching.
Yum! I love your videos! Keep them coming! I have elderberries about the amount you have so am going to make jelly also. I am going to use my Victorio juicer and see how that works for juicing the berries in the first part of the step. Thanks.
Hopefully there will be a better crop next year for making some wine. The jelly has awesome flavor. Thanks for watching my videos.
how did your Victorio strainer work for juicing the elderberries? I was thinking about that but it seemed like a lot of purple mess . I use my Victorio strainer with tomatoes...works great
Thank you for a good video. I am getting a good crop from my 4 plants this year and I am harvesting the bunches as they ripen (all at different times) and freezing them on the stems after they are rinsed. I appreciate your detailed approach.
Mine are not that great this year. The birds have gotten more then me so far. Hopefully I will get enough for a batch of jelly. Thanks for watching.
Have you made a video of making elderberry wine?
A long time ago. Search my videos for elderberry. Thanks for watching.
I don't know that you mentioned measurements.
Because you use the measurements supplied with the pectin you choose. Thanks for watching.
If you use a fork it makes it easier taking the berries off the stem
Thanks for the tip. Thanks for watching.
nice video-could you use honey instead of sugar?
I have no idea. Thanks for watching.
Hello! can i make syrup this way
No, you need to tap maple trees.I have videos about making it if you search my channel. Thanks for watching.
Way does Ball want to go mess up a tried-and-true method ? When I first used the new lids , I did not know you were not supposed to heat them up. They worked just fine after heating. All jars sealed.
I don't know. I never had a problem with the old style lids, but last year lost a bunch of seals using the new BPA free lids. I am looking for another source. Thanks for watching.
2020 Covid Canning...I got plenty of time now Thank You..
You and millions more. Get your supplies early before everything is sold out . Thanks for watching.
Yep me as well -- 2020 Covid Canning -- it's a thing!! Thank you so much for your videos ... enjoying them.
Great job on both your jelly and your video! Ver yinformative.Thank you for taking the time to share. And yes, you must roll and press the lemons for more juice... your wife is right! Lol.
Thanks. She's always right. Thanks for watching.
Our Elderberries did well this year, but the bugs and birds were eating them as fast as they would ripen. I have heard you should avoid unripened fruit as it is poisonous. Not sure if it is the light red or just the green ones. I added them to an apple pie last year and it was pretty good.
I am lucky the birds prefer the high bush cranberries from the hedge I planted on the other side of my yard. I always try and only pick the ripe fruit and discard any green ones . Thanks for watching.
I'm not sure about the 'unripened fruit', but I've heard that the uncooked fruit will give you a bad tummy ache or the runs and that the stems and leaves contain a fair amount of cyanide. So, those are best avoided.
My first elderberry jelly. It came out good. Your video is great. Thank you.
My elderberries are still weeks away from ripening. Can't wait to make another batch. Glad yours came out good. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful jelly!
It has amazing flavor. Thanks for watching.
Someone who KNOWS how to make elderberry jelly, yummm.🤗
You should be able to make it now also 😋. Thanks for watching.
You likely know more than I do, but I have always been told to use bottled lemon when canning because the bottled lemon juice has a set acidity while actual lemons can vary in acidity, which can effect preserving.
Yes they can. For the jelly we always use fresh. For other items we use citric acid to be safe. Thanks for watching
They make awesome wine and jelly.
Where is the recipient? Please
Use the one that's in the pectin box. Each pectin comes with a recipe sheet. Thanks for watching.
What variety of elderberry plant do you have and have you set up a patreon account yet? Love your show and very informative.
They are just called american elderberry. I bought the bare root plants a couple years ago at a local soil and water conservation district plant sale. Luckily the birds like the high bush cranberries I planted on the other side of my yard better and leave the elderberries alone. I started looking into a patreon account, but have to do some more research on the RUclips policies. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing now I can make my own. I know there was a missing ingredient my Aunt would make her own jellies couldn't get it right.
Take your time and there are many great jelly recipes available. Thanks for watching.
A great way to remove elderberries from the stems is to freeze them and then they pop off really easily.
If you have extra room in the freezer. I freeze them before using them to make wine because they break down better. Thanks for watching.
How much do you need to make wine with?
I have a video about that. About a 5 gallon bucket full works good for a 6 gallon carboy. Thanks for watching
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 thanks for the response, love the videos bubba 👊
I always use a fourth a cup of the sugar to the pectin whip it with a whisk so you won't have any problems with it clotting in the hot juice.
Thanks for watching.
kia ora from new zealand tyvm for the video. Lemons get more juice if you soak in hot water or microwave to warm up. That allows the juice to slide out more.
Thanks for the tip. Thanks for watching.
I have made elderberry jam with only elderberries and sugar -nothing else. It was OK, but I ate it all myself as there was too much roughage in it to give to visitors. Hence elderberry jelly I suppose. What is good is stewed elderberries hot with custard. I would imagine you could freeze raw elderberries in packets and stew them through the winter, but I haven’t tried it yet.
The pectin really just stiffens it up. I also have made awesome wine with elderberries. Thanks for watching.
I love it. I will try the recipe in autumn. Do you have an Instagram account? I cannot keep up with RUclips. :(
No. Left all social media except for RUclips and MeWe. Thanks for watching.
Your jelly looks amazing! I keep hearing about Elderberry jelly and syrup but haven't tried either.
Give it a try. The flavor and aroma is amazing. Thanks for watching.
I cut the top and bottom off of the lemons, limes,, and oranges then cut the fruit in half. Then
I put half of the fruit in the squeezer right side up and squeeze the juice out. I get more juice from the fruit that way.
I will have to try that. Thanks for watching.
My grandma made some elderberry jelly and pie it was the best thing I have ever eaten. I now want my own sons to try it so thanks for the video. I bet it was GREAT YUM ELDERBERRYS.
It has a unique flavor that makes this jelly great. Thanks for watching.
for pectin go forging for amber jelly roll, dehydrate, use as natural pectin.
I will have to research that, never heard of it. Thanks for watching.
Your wife is correct about getting more juice out of the lemons. I just found out recently about how to use the juicer correctly thanks to another You Tuber LOL! This jelly looks great. Do you think the wild elderberries work out the same??
Wild elderberries should work fine. They may even have more flavor. Thanks for watching.
Nice video, but was wondering how you keep the birds from eating your entire elderberry crop?
I don't have a problem with birds eating them. I have a high bush cranberry hedge on the other side of my yard and the birds prefer them. There are also sunflower seeds falling on the ground that they really go after. Thanks for watching.
I have made some excellent wine from them. Last year they died during the drought and I am so glad they recovered. I do not cut them back, I just planted them a couple years ago.
I couldn’t imagine my life without elderberries especially this time of year my elderberry cough and cold syrup is a family recipe from several generations
That sounds really good. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I just found your channel and I love it I just subscribe

Your elderberry trees look full of nice berries. We foraged some in the woods today and made juice. It tastes delicious.
We have none this year with the drought. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 sorry to hear this. The climate is key. We are in England and had rain after a hot spell. The elderberry are ready for harvesting now.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 first year foraging them myself. We have an absolute abundance in the UK they grow wild everywhere.

Can't tell her that now that I have her doing it the right way 😉. Thanks for watching.
Awesome man, do you have any videos on how you make your wine with it?
There are a couple basic ones if you search my channel for elderberry. It takes several years of aging for it to be any good though. Thanks for watching.
Appreciate you for taking the time to make the video
Thanks for watching.
i think you can just feed the berries thru a champion juicer {little}sticks and stems and all. that should halve your time. ruclips.net/video/PfjJL6nXlYA/видео.html
thanks..i've only used them for tincture in the past.... gonna give this a try when they ripen
The flavor and aroma of this jelly is just amazing. They also make great wine. Thanks for watching.

Can I make this recipe with dried berries??
They should work if rehydrated but I have never tried it. Thanks for watching.
hi is there any recipe for your sauses please. xx
We don't make sauces. We use the jelly recipe in the pectin package. Thanks for watching.
Would you explain to me what fresh elderberries taste like? Are they sweet, sour, or tangy? I want to know because I saw a bunch of berries close to my home that look just like the berries on your video, but I'm not 100% sure. Also, what do you use the elderberry jelly with? Ice cream? Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Mix with iced tea? Thanks for this excellent post, btw! You did a fantastic job of showing us and explaining to us how you make your elderberry jelly!
They have a unique bitter flavor that most either love or hate. The jelly is great on pancakes, with peanut butter and cream cheese on sandwiches. Some also make a syrup from them. They grow wild in many places. Be careful with roadside berries because many areas use chemicals to control roadside weeds. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Thank you sir for taking the time to explain in good details about what elderberries taste like and what they are used for! I appreciate it! But just to make sure before I try them next summer --- they are a little sweet as well as bitter, right?
@@grandwonder5858 They are not sweet at all by themselves. A very strong bitter flavor that really needs some kind of sweetener to enjoy.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Okay, thanks for the explanation!
