Method:
1. Wash the fruit but do not top and tail. Put in a pan and add 1 1/2 pints water and the elderflower heads in muslin. Simmer until fruit is tender and mash well.
2. Strain through double muslin or through a jelly bag. Drain for 15 minutes.
3. Remove the pulp from the jelly bag and add 1 pint water. Simmer again for 30 minutes and strain.
4. Mix the two extracts together and add 1 lb (500 g) sugar to each 1 pint (600 ml) juice. Bring to boiling point, dissolving the sugar and boil until setting point is reached.
