Making & Canning Elderberry Syrup ((Bonus Gummy Recipe!))

#homesteading #homeremedy #elderberry #homestead #herbalmedicine #homestead
Elderberry Syrup Recipe: homesteadingfamily.com/homema...
*Add1/4c gelatin per cup of hot syrup to make gummies, refrigerate in molds or cookie sheet/lipped pan overnight to set. Refrigerate syrup/gummies for up to 6 months. Canning the syrup will make it shelf stable for many years as long as the seal remains intact.*
(Dosages below were snagged from the blog/recipe above)
How Much Elderberry Syrup Should I Take?
Wondering what is the dosage of elderberry syrup? My preferred dosage for daily immune support during cold and flu season is as follows:
Adults take 1 teaspoon daily.
Kids (6-12 years old) take 1 teaspoon daily.
Kids (1-5 years old) take ½ teaspoon daily.
My preferred dosage when fighting off illness (until symptoms subside) is as follows:
Adults take 1 teaspoon up to 1 Tablespoon every 2-3 hours.
Kids (6-12 years old) take 1 teaspoon every 2-3 hours.
Kids (1-5 years old) take ½ teaspoon every 2-3 hours.
* Not recommended for kids 1-year-old and under if honey is used. (See non-honey recommendations below.)

The garden tour will be on Wednesday this week! ♥

Reminder to the people, if you're store any sort of consumable in a trash bag, like deer, berries, ect. DO NOT USE SCENTED. 😂 so excited about this video heather! Im a huge fan of elderberries!!!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

FOR SURE! Good PSA!! I can't stand scented trash bags! We do use trash bags for deer too as the meat rests, funny you mention that haha

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Ohhh yummy!! I am going to have to try the gummy recipe, we make syrup all the time ( I just made some last weekend actually) but I have never thought of turning it into Gummies! What a fun idea. Thanks for sharing -Cara

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

You're so welcome!! The gummies are a great way to give that daily dose!

[@bluebirdhomestead]

@@SageandStoneHomestead Indeed! 😊😊

[@kerriofczarzakkfofczarzak3343]

I did that last week. I made mulberry jelly, cranberry/jalapeño jelly, strawberry jam, dewberry jelly. Have fun creating

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Fun times!! You feeling better?

[@mandyg888]

I need to make more elderberry syrup but super excited to see how to make the gummies!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

It was so fun!!

[@Mansahx]

Good Morning Good Morning. Drinking tea before I get my day started.. think the wife and I will make this with kids.

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Would be such a fun project to do as a family! Thanks for being here!

[@kerriofczarzakkfofczarzak3343]

I’m taking dried corn for cornmeal off the cob. So glad you have a new video. Love to watch

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

How fun!!

[@mandyg888]

Those gummies came out perfect!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

They did!! Thank you!! I'm so happy with them, they are DELICOUS!

[@stonesoupsubstitutions6946]

I just made a small batch of syrup last week. Im so excited to get those cuttings in the ground and harvest so much more! Ill have to make gummies next. Those look fun.

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

So fun!! our elderberry bush/tree took only 2 years to harvest from and it was pretty small when we put it in!

[@kerriofczarzakkfofczarzak3343]

Can’t wait to make some gummies. Thanks for sharing

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Have fun! ❤️❤️

[@nolliesteers3083]

Wow Heather! Good morning. That was awesome. The kids are going to love those gummies . ❤❤❤

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

They do! I told them quite a few times that we can't just eat them all up, only half a square a day lol!

[@heathergeyer1780]

This was a great video filled with so much info. Thanks Heather. Those gummies turned out great ❤ much love and blessings.

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Thank you so much!! ❤️🐐❤️

[@OrganicMommaGA]

What a FANTASTIC start to the first day of the week! Thank you Heather for posting this video. That elderberry tea coloring is rich, vibrant, and beautiful! I don't know if it could be used to permanently color yarn or natural fabric, but I imagine it could - I know it certainly stains quite easily... Although, who would want to spend such a precious harvest on something to wear (or look at) rather than ingest for its great benefits? I would certainly have to have SUCH an enormous harvest glut to justify using it in that way! The only question I have is if the gummies you made might become too soft (and maybe sticky) sitting at room temperature? Would also be interested to see if you freeze dry any of them - I have seen people freeze-dry gummy bears and they GROW!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

I plan to refrigerate the gummies but a few could be left out as an experiment for sure! One reason I think the berries could be used as a dye is we got all of this off of ONE plant this year and we have seven elderberry bushes (small) around! So I assume there will be excess abundance to play with in the future :)

[@thenodiggardener]

Lovely! I use organic dried Elderberries for syrup, because I no longer have my own land with the trees. What we forage as fresh berries gets turned into Elderberry Vinegar instead. You'd probably get some really great Rosehip gummies too with your wonderful Honey. That syrup is also great along side Elderberry. Off to check out your other canner video now 😁

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Yes I saw quite a few people add rosehips into their elderberry batch and that seems like a match made in heaven!

[@papawnanasaveslovesnlife9530]

​@@SageandStoneHomesteadi agree, Rosehip is so good for many things ✅💯, Im planting a few more Roses this year so i can make some Rosehip oils n more next year, Thanks for the Idea on gummies too Heather ❤😘❗

[@cdavid2486]

Wonderful project and exciting to have in stock!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Thank you I agree!! ♥

[@rechellmullen6340]

Thanks for the info on how to remove the berries! We make wine and jam with ours and I always hated trying to get them off with a fork. I'll have to try putting them in the freezer like you said. Hope it works❤ Thanks Heather!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

It works SO well!! some little stems to sift through but not too bad. We definitely don't remove all the small stems either.

[@psychGma11]

Heather! Were you reading my mind? I just made my first elderberry syrup and canned it from organic dried berries I got from Amazon. My problem is how to get my autistic 4 year old to take it because she has a huge sensory issue with a lot of foods/drinks. However, she WILL take gummies! You may have just saved us all a world of heartache! This is me, off to Amazon to order more elderberries. Thank you!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

YAY I'm so glad that thr gummy option may be what works! Anything to make life a little easier ❤️❤️

[@mistycherie]

Wonderful video, loved how you walked through every phase and showed the end results as well. Thanks as always Heather, elderberry is so great this time of year so these recipes are fantastic.

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

You are so welcome! Thanks so much for being here! ♥

[@MrAntdez]

Just a note of caution to anyone making the gummies. My gummies did mold in the frig while the "syrup/juice" did not. So I don't think they last quite as long. I found them molding after just a few weeks. They were such as easy way to get our elderberry in each day!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Interesting! Did you use a similar recipe that is about half honey? That is a very fast breakdown and super sad!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

I did a little googling and it looks like they freeze well, so we will pre-emptively freeze ours! Thank you!

[@MrAntdez]

@@SageandStoneHomestead I probably didnt use enough as I am a bit sugar phobic...: ) Ha ha I followed a recipe from Amy Fewell I think it had the ginger and astragalus in it.

[@kerriofczarzakkfofczarzak3343]

Oh yes and add 1 Tbs of butter and it will cut the foam and not change the taste

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

I forgot about that trick!! Next time! ♥

It’s worth a try to try and dye a white T-shirt 😊, since it stains a towel 😊

Yeah!!

[@letssummondinner]

The gummies are a terrific idea!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

They are so fun!

[@rachelgalus]

I do just elderberries and pure maple syrup. It gives it a nice burnt marshmallow flavor. But I love ginger. I should try adding that next year.

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Oh that actually sounds really good!! I'll have to experiment with different recipes!

[@georgeingridirwin6180]

GOD bless you once we are able to be home again I have to make this. Your timing is incredibly perfect.

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Yay!! I'm so glad ♥ Enjoy!!

[@mylittleruralhomestead]

I have to get an Elderberry tree, but not sure if it would survive our Northern Michigan winters.😀

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Hmm! I actually have no idea about their range! There might be a variety that works!

[@jenniferr2057]

I was thinking how amazing it would be to take the residue and spattering it into and onto fabric or yarn to dye it! Let's do it! I have more elderberries than i could ever use or get others to share.... a great experiment!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

I really want to try it! I wonder if I need to set it somehow or else the wash may really dilute the "stain".

[@papawnanasaveslovesnlife9530]

​@@SageandStoneHomesteadput it in a mop like bucket , let it sit overnight, or maybe longer, we use to stain a variety of things growing up.. Even koolaid, n food coloring 😅😂❗.. Art class was so fun in middle n high school ❤❗...

[@WlkInDWdz]

Wonder how the canned starter would work out if it were freeze dried & powdered.....huh hmmmmm. Got me thinking.

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

It would store for a LONG time! Could be encapsulated at that point too I'd bet!

[@WlkInDWdz]

@@SageandStoneHomestead Oooooooo I like that idea too!

[@2000ISP]

Do you freeze dry the pulp from the berries and powder it ?

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

I didn't. I suppose you could but I imagine the best medical properties end up in thr syrup

[@kelliecollins6994]

Sounds odd but I wonder if I can add some honey fermented garlic to this as well? Or just add a little fresh garlic with the ginger?

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Hmm! I've never made honey fermented garlic, would you blitz it up after it's done fermenting? Treat it like a raw ingredient and add it to the mother recipe when needed is my advice! ♥

[@kelliecollins6994]

@@SageandStoneHomestead my MIL makes honey fermented garlic. Just whole cloves covered in honey. I don’t remember how long it sits for. Her housemate adds it to his coffee! I was thinking I’d add a little garlic to this recipe as it cooks, like with the ginger and other spices. I’m new to this whole world but I love watching videos and getting ideas for when I get started. We are almost done with our house build. Just watched your whole series on rabbits as well. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment back on an older post ❤

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

No problem at all! I bet adding garlic would be great!!

We wants to listen to our corrupt government guidelines 😂 NOT ME! Plus if folks would research canning in other countries many don't have such strict guidelines YET they have more strict food guidelines not allowing so much poison in their food as the US government allows.... Things that make you go hmmm🤔

Right. I think it's designed to seem difficult. I have many theories on things like this!

[@user-mc8xz6vk6h]

You forgot to scrape off the foam on the gummies lol you also need to cure them out in open air for that size 3-4 days. No less than that. Or they will be too wet. You need to cure them to get the moisture out. Also you waisted way too much gelatin by pouring it in your mixture when it was WAY too hot. Quick google search to see the max temp for gelatin before you render it useless for its purpose to make the gummy. You didn’t need that much gelatin if you had the correct temps. ❤

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

These worked beautifully without curing or anything other than what I did. I followed a recipe. Seems like there's more than one right way?
