Servings 80
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried elderberries
- 2 cups apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups organic sugar
- ½ cup fresh oregano chopped
Instructions
- Combine all of your ingredients in your Instant Pot (or pressure cooker). Bring to high pressure for 20 minutes, then do a natural release.
- Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the Elderberry Shrub into clean glass canning jars. It's important to use canning jars, because they are heat-safe, and this syrup is still going to be pretty hot as you strain it. No shattered jars, please!
- Let the jars of shrub sit, loosely covered, on the counter until they are cool enough to handle, then screw on the lids, and refrigerate.
- To serve: mix 1-2 tablespoons of Elderberry Shrub with water or seltzer, to taste, and sip. When I feel run down, I add 2 tablespoons to my 20 ounce water bottle and fill it up a couple of times per day.
Notes
- This recipe makes about 2 ½ pints of Elderberry Shrub.
- Your Elderberry Shrub will keep for a few months in the refrigerator.
