Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dried elderberries (or 1 1/2 cups fresh)
- 3/4 cup filtered water
- 1 1/2 cups juice
- 3 tsp sugar-free pectin
- 1/2 cup date paste (see recipe below or use 1/2 cup this low-carb sweetener for lower-carb, or see notes for other alternatives)
Instructions
- Soak elderberries in water overnight.
- Bring berries, water, and juice to a boil.
- Remove one cup of jam mixture from heat, add pectin and date paste or syrup, and blend until smooth.
- Return blended ingredients to pot and bring to a boil once again. Reduce heat slightly and keep stirring for 10 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat and pour jam into canning jars. The sugar-free pectin will harden the jam as it cools.
