Ingredients

  • 2 cups dried elderberries
  • 6 cups apple juice or cider or use half juice, half water
  • 2 apples cored and diced
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 tsp. powdered ceylon cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp. cloves
  • ½ cup raw honey

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients except honey to the Instant pot insert and stir well.

  2. Close the lid and set the valve to the "seal" position. Set cook time to MANUAL, High Pressure, for 7 minutes.

  3. When cook time is finished and timer goes off, set the valve to "vent" and do a quick release of pressure. When the pin drops down, carefully open the lid.

  4. Strain mixture through a large mesh strainer or collander over a large bowl. Mash the elderberry ingredients well to get as much liquid out as possible. Allow to cool for several minutes until liquid is warm, not hot.

  5. Add raw honey and stir well with a wire whisk to dissolve. Adjust the amount of honey to your preferred level of sweetness.

  6. Transfer to jars for storage. Keeps up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator, up to a year in the freezer.
