Elderberry/Orange Cider

[MNFirefly]

Introducing cider batch number 5: a elderberry cider made from an overnight syrup made from dried elderberries and orange peel along with 2 lbs. of raw sugar. I am looking forward to the results from this batch.

I love waking up and seeing the day after brewing.

Looks good! Can I ask the recipe for the syrup? How much elderberry, how much peel? Water to make the syrup?

 

[MNFirefly]

1 c. Elderberry, dried.
1 - 4 oz container of orange peel
4 cups of water
2 lbs of raw sugar

Be sure to add the peel after you add the sugar so you can verify that the sugar has been mixed in and melted down especially because it goes the fridge overnight.

Did you write the berry jam recipe on instructibles.com?

I do not think so.
