Mine were being foraged over a few weeks and frozen as I went along. They were still frozen when I stuffed them in the muslin bag and poured the boiling syrup over them. :D

Doesn't seem to have done them any harm.

Freeze away  :D

hi all,in answer to the question can i freeze the fruit.simple answer is yes.it also helps to freeze them cos freezing breaks down the enzymes in the fruit.if you have elderberries left over then try making apple and elderberry jam.equal amounts of elderberry,apple and sugar.my elderberry wine is usually around 19% and very sweet.needs to mature for at least a year.2 years is better. cheers mo
