Rita's Gr-Gr-Mom's Elderberry Jam
Here's the recipe.
 |
| It jelled to the perfect consistency with no added pectin. You have to really watch it the last 10 minutes -- stir constantly. |

| I agree with Rita's Great Grandmother -- it is DELICIOUS! Tastes "elderberry-y" with a hint of orange at the end -- different and good! I must have used an apple that doesn't go "mushy" very easy. I cooked down the apples till most was smooth. But, even after the extra 30 minutes of cooking, I still had some apple chunks. Don't get me wrong, it still tastes wonderful, I would just dice the apples next time. I love the whole elderberries in it -- just plain pretty to look at :-) The recipe made 10 half pint jars. (Christmas presents!!!!) |
