There are some herbs that I really like to put through their paces, that you can really do a lot with! Elderberry is a favorite. Elderberry gummies are enjoyed by kids and adults. My guys would eat these like candy if they weren’t hidden.
ElderBerry Gummies
1 1/4 c. elderberry syrup4tbs gelatin (I use a grass fed beef gelatin)
1. Pour 1/2 c. of the syrup into a 2 cup measuring cup. Let cool if you’ve just made it and it is still warm.
2. Add 4 tbs gelatin to the 1/2 c. syrup and whisk quickly to combine. It will turn into a thick paste.
3. Heat the 3/4 c. of elderberry syrup remaining until it comes to a simmer. Take off heat.
4. Slowly add hot syrup to gelatin mixture while stirring until the mixture is smooth.
5. Pour into silicon candy molds. It helps to have the mold on a cookie sheet to keep it flat while moving to the refrigerator.
6. Refrigerate for several hours until gummies are solid.
Place in a tin or other closed container. Place wax paper to separate layers of elderberry gummies.
Store in refrigerator. These will last 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator. For a softer consistency leave at room temperature for a few hours before eating.
Silicon molds are easy to find at the Goodwill for a few dollars.
