the elderberry grows spontaneously in a great part of the world, so it is easy to find it
peel lemon
squeeze the juice on the rinsed elderberries
add sugar
stir well and let it rest for one night
chop the lemon peel
put the elderberries and their juice into a great pot, it should be great as they grow much as soon as boiling
add the lemon peel
and the pectin if you use it (if so you can better preserve the berries properties and save sugar, having always a good conservation)
stir well until boiling
make it dense at very low heat
as soon as dense stop the fire and put into pre heated pots
use a protection, due the heat temperature
potting jelly when hot is a guarantee for a good conservation: should you use pots with rubber lock it is not necessary to boil them before potting
should you use other pots it is necessary to heat them for 20 minutes for obtaining the vacuum. In this manner you can preserve the jam for a longer time
