Elderberry Syrup Recipe

Pick the elderberries when full ripe; put them into a stone jar, and set

them in the oven, or in a kettle of boiling water, till the jar is hot

through. Take them out, and strain them through a coarse cloth, wringing

the berries. Put them into a clean kettle, with a pound of fine Lisbon

sugar to every quart of juice. Let it boil, and skim it well. When clear

and fine, put it into a jar. When cold, cover it down close, and, when

you make raisin wine, put to every gallon of wine half a pint of elder

syrup.
