Homemade Elderberry Gummies Recipe

To get started, you want to have all the ingredients and apparatus you need to make the preparation simple. You should first understand that you will have to prepare the elderberry syrup first and then bake them into gummies using a mold. So we’ll get started first by preparing the syrup. 

For Elderberry Syrup

• One cup of elderberries (preferably dried organic)
• Four cups of water (preferably filtered)
• 5-10 whole cloves
• 1-2 cinnamon stick
• 1-2 ginger (chopped)
• Half small organic lemon (juiced)
• A cup of raw honey 

For Gummies 

• One cup of elderberry syrup (preferably dried organic)
• Four tablespoons of gelatin 
• 2/3 cup of hot water 

How to Make Elderberry Gummies

Once you have assembled your ingredients and ready to get started, you should wash your hand and have your apron on and ready for action. You can find the instructions for the preparation below. 

For Syrup

• Add the elderberries, clove, ginger, cinnamon sticks, and water in a large pan. Leave on fire to boil and then allow to simmer for a while. 
• When you are satisfied with the heat level (say after 30 minutes), strain the mixture into a glass container and leave to cool further. 
• Once the syrup has cooled down, it’s time to include the honey and lime into the mix. You want to ensure to whisk them into the syrup as you slowly empty it into the glass container. If you are feeding to kids under the age of 2, you should avoid using honey. 
• When the mixture has settled, you want to measure out a cup for the gummies. You can then add the rest in a glass jar and refrigerate for up to 2 months.
