Ingredients

Elderberry Syrup

3 cups Filtered or spring water
1 cup Dried elderberries or 2 cups fresh elderberries
1 Cinnamon stick
2 inches Fresh Ginger sliced or ½ tsp dried ginger
3 cloves
2 star anise
Once strained add honey or agave to sweeten. ½ - 1 cup, adjust to taste

To Make The Gummies

1 cup elderberry syrup
2 tbsp beef gelatin

Instructions

Make the elderberry liquid:

In a pot, combine 3 cups of filtered water, dried elderberries, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and star anise. Heat the mixture until it simmers (small bubbles).
Continue to simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half.
Take the liquid off of the heat, allow it to cool, and sweeten.
Take the pot off of the heat and allow it to cool.
Pour the liquid through a strainer to remove the berries and spices.
Add the honey to taste and stir well.

To Make The Gummies

Measure out 1 cup of the strained elderberry liquid.
Pour the 1 cup of strained elderberry liquid into a small pot.
Sprinkle the gelatin over the liquid and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom (absorb the liquid).
Move the pot to the stove and heat over low heat for 3-4 minutes or until the gelatin dissolves completely.

Pour into molds:

Carefully pour the mixture into gummy bear molds.
Place the molds in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
Take the gummies out of the mold and enjoy! Store the gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-4 weeks.

Notes

You can use different kinds of molds to make the gummies in different shapes.

If you don't have gummy bear molds, you can pour the mixture into a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Once the gummies are set, you can cut them into squares.
