How to Make

  • Step 1: Cook the elderberries and seeded grapes with enough water to cover, until mushy and well cooked, about 1 hour is how long I cooked it. Remove mixture and put through strainer. Put juice back into pot. Add sugars. Stir and bring to a boil.

  • Step 2: Add rest of fruit. Cook down until mixture coats the back of a spoon.

  • Step 3: Sprinkle in the Sure-Jell and two packages of Jell-O. Cook on low, stirring as needed, for another hour. If water gets too low add more.

  • Step 4: When thickened enough, pour into 1/2 pint jars and seal.
