You can leave out the brandy and see step 12. My recipes are meant to be played with.

If you are inspired to create a tincture from elderberry and juniper, use this as a jumping off point. This recipe is for syrup, so it will obviously not be anything like a tincture as is.

People do can their syrups, it is not something that I ever do though, so i am not the expert on this one…

What would the processing times be? Thank you.

I like lots of recipes, not really one over the other. My book The Herbal Kitchen has 250 recipes!!

When using honey, canning is not the best solution, you don’t want to heat the honey that much.

This has more of a liquid consistency than what people are probably used to purchasing in the stores. Most conventional syrups use sugar with a ration of 1:1
This syrup has less sweetener and is not as thick
