Autumn is often seen as a season of harvest, a time to slow down after months of blooming, growing, and bustling around. It’s the perfect time to embrace cosy, homemade treats—like jam! I recently learned that the same Sambucus tree gives us both fragrant elderflowers in the spring/summer and elderberries in the fall. Inspired by this discovery, I revisited the beautiful trees near my home to collect some elderberries as now is the season to pick them. As someone who loves homemade, nutrient-rich treats, I appreciate that elderberries are packed with antioxidants and are known to help fight off colds and flu according to some studies.* I’d like to share my recipe for a delicious and easy-to-make elderberry chia jam. I managed to collect about 2 cups of berries, so this recipe reflects that amount. Ingredients (for a 1-liter jar of jam)
Method
Enjoy this jam spread on toast, croissants, or pair it with crackers and cheese on a charcuterie board. It also makes a perfect accompaniment to a glass of red wine!
