Directions:Elderberries are a powerful herb for preventing a cold or flu and for shortening the duration of a cold or flu. In this recipe we first make a juice from dried elderberries and other herbs then we use gelatin to make fun gummy shapes. Kids of all ages will enjoy them!
Step 1: Make the Juice
Place all the ingredients in a medium sized sauce pan. Bring to a simmer and continue to simmer for twenty minutes. Remove from heat and let cool a bit. Strain through cheesecloth or jelly bag. Squeeze well to extract the juice.
If you want to make the gummies, go to step two. If you want to simply make elderberry syrup you can now add honey or sugar to your taste preferences and keep it stored in the fridge. The amount of honey/sugar you add will be the determining factor in how long it lasts. The more you add the longer it will last.
General recommended dose I recommend kids take 1-3 teaspoons a day. Adults can take 1-3 tablespoons per day.
Step 2: Make the Gummies
Measure out 2 cups of the above juice. Add more apple cider if necessary so you have the full two cups. Reserve 1/2 cup of the juice in a pyrex measuring glass. Put it in the fridge until it is cold. Once it is cold, sprinkle the gelatin over the juice and let sit for one minute. Bring the rest of the juice to a simmer. Then pour the hot juice over the cooled juice and gelatin, stirring briskly with a whisk. Continue to whisk swiftly for about 2 minutes or until the gelatin is completely dissolved. If desired add sugar or honey. You might find it is sweet enough already. Pour the mixture into silicon molds OR pour into a glass pan. Put them in the fridge to harden. Once they are hardened they should remain hard. Remove them from the molds. If using a glass pan, cut them into cubes.
Store in a closed container in the fridge. They should last several weeks. I recommend eating 1-3 small gummies a day.
