Elderberry Syrup in the Instant Pot

A hands off method of cooking down the elderberries for elderberry syrup.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups Fresh Elderberries 1 Cup if using dried
  • 4 Cups Filtered Water
  • 3 Sticks Cinnamon
  • 6 Whole Cloves
  • 1 Cup Raw Honey
  • ¼ Cup Arrowroot Powder
  • Cup ACV optional

Instructions
 

  • Place the water, elderberries, cinnamon, and cloves in the instant pot. Set the pot to high pressure for 8 minutes. You can let the pressure release naturally or do a quick release.
    After the elderberries are done cooking, strain the elderberries and spices out with a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Really smoosh and squeeze out all of the juice.
    Turn the Instant Pot on saute and return the syrup to the pot. Mix the ½ cup arrowroot powder with 1 cup of water. Add to the syrup and let cook until it is thickened.
    Turn off the heat and add the ACV and the honey. If you do not want Apple Cider Vinegar, you can omit it or just add more water if the syrup is too thick.
