Elderberry blossoms are a creamy color
and have a sweet scent and sweet taste.
When harvesting elderberry flowers,
do not wash them as that removes flavor.
Ingredients:
4 cups of strawberries, hulled
2 cups of sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fruit pectin
Elderberry Blossoms
Directions:
Put strawberries in food processor
and pulse to a pulp.
Make sure no large lumps remain.
Place in a pot and stir in sugar.
Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
Stir in Elderberry Blossoms.
For a more jelled jam,
add 1 tablespoon fruit pectin.
(I’ve made it without and it works just fine.
But, if you use less than 2 cups sugar,
you might want the pectin to help it jell better).
Simmer for 5-10 minutes. Skim off the foam.
Put the in sterilized jars, refrigerate
and eat for breakfast on anything.
