  2. Remove as many stems as possible, as the bitter substances are in them. Soak the flowers for your elderberry jelly in apple juice for a day or two. Naturally cloudy is good, even better is homemade juice with the apples from their own garden. If you want something more unusual, you can have one or two untreated lemons, lavender, or vanilla whiskey to add.
  3. Strain the liquid for your elderberry jelly into a saucepan and boil the whole thing up with the desired amount of preserving sugar.
