Steaming Elderberries !

[Kleftiwallah]

Can I leave the elderberries on the stalks if I'm extracting the juice by using a steam juice extractor ? Anything that saves me from that labourious job is a winner with me. Cheers, Tony.

I wouldn't think you would want the juice from the stem in your elderberry juice

 

[Kleftiwallah]

That is sensible, but not what I wanted to hear ! Cheers, Tony.

I'm steaming elderberries as I'm writing this. Leaving the stems on. Did it last year this way and had no harmful effects. The wine was probably one of the best I have ever made.

Your my hero Bruno. that's just what I wanted to hear. But I'm glad I've seen the cake tray idea. Cheers, Tony.

can steamed elderberry juice be stored in bags without freezing. i remove all but the very small stems.

I would think that it may go mouldy if not used right away, best to freeze if not required soon.

Cheers, Tony.
