Elderberries make homey, nostalgic tasting preserves and this jam is spiced with aromatic grapefruit and white peppercorn.
This flavor is perfect for english muffins and biscuits. This jam would also be delicious for glazing lamb, beef and game roasts. For cheese, start with blue cheese but try it with hard raw milk cheeses and cheddar!
Refrigerate after opening.
Honey sweetened preserves made without the use of added pectin allows the texture and "temperament" of each fruit to shine through, yielding a range from soft to firm preserves. V Smiley Preserves are made in wide copper jam pans from hand cut fruit. One pot of jam produces 6-10 jars of preserves and some batches take up to 3 days to produce! Each finished jar of preserves contains about 1 lb. of fruit!
