Elderberries (Sambucus nigra) are abundant this year. Apparently, world renowned Israeli virologist Dr. Madeleine Mumcuoglu has established a clinically proven treatment against flu (including swine flu and avian flu) using elderberries.
They also stain everything blue.
Ingredients
Bucket of Elderberries
Granulated sugar
Cloves
Lemons
Instructions
Use a fork to remove the Elderberries from the stalks into a saucepan.
Add enough water to nearly cover them.
Add a few slivers of lemon zest (no pith).
Simmer for 20 minutes.
Mash the Elderberry mixture up a bit and strain it through a muslin, squeezing to make sure you get all the juice out.
Squeeze in a bit of lemon juice, to taste.
For each pint of juice you get, add 1lb of granulated sugar and 12 cloves.
Boil the mixture for 10 minutes.
Allow the Elderberry mixture to cool, and then bottle in sterilised glass bottles, making sure that the caps have a plastic seal.
Add an equal amount of the cloves to each bottle you make up.
The Elderberry cordial syrup will last up to two years.
