The Best Elderberry And Damson Jam
The best flavour of jam you will ever try. Perfect with freshly baked scones.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 kg Elderberries
- 1 kg Damson
- 1 kg Sugar (Granulated)
Instructions
- Remove the stalks from the elderberries and wash thoroughly. Do the same with the damsons but don't remove the stones.
- In a stainless steel pot, add the damsons and cook on medium heat until they are soft and the stones are easy to remove. Use a colander to sieve out the stones and keep the remaining juice and pulp in the pot. Add the elderberries and bring them to a boil. Keep stirring until it starts to thicken. This can take about 30 miutes. When it has reduced down and started to thicken slightly, add the sugar.
- Bring to the boil again and keep stirring for about 10 to 15 minutes until the jam sets when tested. To do this, place a small plate in the freezer for 10 minutes to cool, then, remove and place a tsp of jam on the plate. If the jam has skin on it or pulls slightly with your finger, it’s ready!
- Pour into freshly sterilised jars and seal with a poppable lid. When cooled, the lids should suck in, that's when you know the jars are sealed correctly.
