Directions

1. 1

   Wash the elderberries and put them dripping wet with stems in a large pot. Put a lid on it and let it boil quietly at medium heat for 20 to 25 minutes. In the meantime rinse glasses in hot water.

2. 2

   Cut the preserving cellophane to size. Peel and halve the pear, remove the core. Cut pear halves crosswise into thin slices. Pass the elderberries through a fine sieve or cloth. Measure out one litre of juice.

3. 3

   Put juice and jam sugar in a pot and mix well. Add pear pieces and lemon juice. Bring everything to the boil over a high heat, stirring constantly, and let it boil for one minute (after the clock) until it becomes bubbly.

4. 4

   Remove the pot from the stove and pour the jelly hot into glasses. Glasses must be filled to the brim. Close them immediately with moistened cellophane. Makes 4 glasses of 3/8 litres each.
