Elderberry wine

Take elderberries that have coloured black over the complete cluster.

Shake the clusters (outside) to remove spiders and ants. Wash the elderberries carefully with cold water and drain well in a colander.

Take 400 gr of the stalked (use a fork) elderberries and put in a jar. Mash slightly and fill the jar up with 400 gr sugar and about 400 gr (4 dl) water. Fill jars until you've used all the elderberries.

Place the (half-open) jars 8 weeks on a warm spot and stir the contents each day.

Sterilize bottles with propeller capsule for the wine.

Sift the elderberries mixture and fill the bottles (optional take a glass already).

Please note: the wine yeasts in the bottle, therefore careful when opening !

Preservable for 1 year.
