The message
from "someone" contains these words:


What do you do with elderberry juice, aside from mashing them to make
wine?
How do you process elderberries?

(1).Elderberry Chutney,

(2) Elderberry and Crabapple Chutney

- and I did once, many years ago, make Elderberry Soup.

(1).
2 Pints Elderberries - no stalks
¼ lb Seedless Raisins
¼ lb Sugar
2 oz Onions - very finely chopped
½ oz Salt
pinch of Cayenne
pinch of Allspice
1 pint Vinegar

Put one-third of the Vinegar, and all the other ingredients
except the Sugar in a pan, and simmer until thick.

Add a second one-third of the Vinegar, and simmer until
thick.

Add the rest of the Vinegar, and the warmed Sugar, and
simmer until thick; pot and cover.

Chutney is ready if no liquid is visible when a wooden spoon
is drawn through the mixture.

(2)
1½ lbs Elderberries - rather under-ripe
1½ lbs Crab Apples
½ lb Sultanas
½ lb Onions
1 pint Vinegar
½ lb Sugar
1 tsp each of ground: Ginger, Cinnamon, Allspice and
Cayenne Pepper
4 oz Salt

Mince the onions and cook in Water until tender; strain and
add one-third of the Vinegar, and all the other Ingredients
except the Sugar, and simmer until thick.

Continue as for Elderberry Chutney.

Terrific! Thanks for the recipes, will give them a go in the late summer.
We also have lots of crab apples in the countryside around us.
