     This summer we have an abundance of elderberry clusters here. So it’s worth making the juice. There is a lot of information about the properties of this juice on the Internet. I won’t quote them here. However, I will present the process of making the juice. It took me about 20 minutes to collect the bunches of fruit. You have to make sure that the fruit is fully ripe and juicy. Sometimes there are bushes with fruit that is already drying out. The next steps took place in the kitchen. After washing the clusters, I started separating the fruit from them. This was the longest part of the work, but it was easy. Then I prepared a fruit slow juicer. This device makes the work much easier. After a few minutes, I already had pure juice. Then I heated the contents in a pot and added sugar. I determined the amount by tasting it so that it was quite sweet. Then I poured the hot juice into jars and pasteurized it for a fairly short time. And the process is over. We will use it in the autumn and winter.
