OK, so this should explain why I am not a professional chef.
I am trying to make your elderberry syrup recipe for the first time.
I began by misreading the recipe ( in my defense, I am sick with a nasty cold)
So, instead of pouring boiling water over dry berries, I boiled the berries.
Could not find my wide mouth funnel to pour the liquid into the jars, so I used a colander for the liquid.
The liquid is now in jars, minus the berries. For the most part.
I can't locate the jar of honey I thought I had, so can I use a jar of strawberry preserves instead?
I do have the vodka. I get the "important" things right.
